The Plot
The plot of "Pygmalion" revolves
about a project undertaken by Hig-
gins, who is a phonetician. He dis-
covers Eliza, a wretched Cockney
flower girl who lives in squalor and
acts accordingly, and, with the help
via Improving her speech and man-
ner into a marveloualy refined lady.
EHika, after undergoing the "treat-
ment finds herself in the unique
situation of having no proper station

adyhood she would be quite anom-
alous in her former surroundings,
and aha has not the-means of main-
taining the life � of leisure generally
accorded to the Gentry. Higgins,
having completed his work which
was only a fancy with him, ia un
concerned about Eliza's future. Col
onel Pickering, to whom Eliza ia
grateful for the amenities which are
beyond the sphere of the callous Hig-
gins, is sympathetic with the lady's
plight, as is Mrs. Higgins. The figure
of Mr. Doolittle furnishes some very
clever comedy scenes, as he is de-
livered into the talons of "middle-
class morality

Mather
Almost every summer since 1947
�rofesor Mather has been overseas,
participating in important scientific,
niueationa! and religious conferences,
tnd visiting regions of particular
interest, either from a geological or
a political point of view. At such
meetings as those of the World Con-
erence of Christian Youth in Oslo in
1947, the Internation Geological Con-
rreas in London in 1948 and in Algiers
n 1952, the World's Committee of the
VMCA in Zurich in 1948, in Myborg,
Denmark, in 1950, and in Geneva in
1953, and the World University Ser-
vice in Istanbul in 1953, he has, "felt
the pulse of humanity the world
around
In 1949 he was the guest of Mar-
shal Tito on the island of Brioni in
Yugoslavia, and in 1952 he happened
to be in Egypt at the time of Gen-
eral Naguib's overthrow of King
Farouk. Thus his appraisals of A-
nerica's role in world affairs are
ased upon contacts and observations
of an unusually fruitful nature.
Social Action
Social action is the theme of Rev.
rhomas R. Thrasher who has as his
topic "Our Faith�And Social Rela-
tions A Southerner, it has been
aid that he will be particularly
interesting due to his being a minister
at Montgomery, Alabama, center of

has served as board member on Ala-
bama Division of Southern Regional
Council, and its successor. An article
by him on the racial (problem may be
found in the college library in the
'Reporter" magazine.
In the vocational field of religious
interest a third speaker is Dr. Arthur

His interest in giving students oppor-

of Christian doctrine and the iplace of

meant that Dr. Blackburn has been a

Lukewarm Religion
By RALPH LAMM
(Guest writer Ralph Lamm is president of
both the Inter-Religious Council and the Bap-
tist Student Union.)�Editor.
What I have to say here may have been
said a k-ng time ago, but I believe it to be
especially appropriate as we approach this
year's Religious Emphasis Week on campus.
Is religion really important in a person's
life? Most people seem to agree that religion
is important in a person's life. And when I say
religion I am not referring to Christianity.
These words are often misused interchange-
ably. Rather. I am referring to the thing to
which a person is bound, the thing to which he
has given his allegiance, be it faith or reason.
self or manjyofl.
The thing that seems to bother most peo-
ple on our campus, and I believe our campus
to be no different from most of the world in
this respect, is the question of "Just how re-
ligious can I be?" How far am I to go in com-
mitting myself? Divided allegiance soon ends
in frustration. No one has ever succeeded in
half-committment or divided allegiance. Tol-
erance of ideologies other than our own is
necessary. Compromise may be dangerous.
Many of us are trying to lead double
lives. We are lukewarm in our religion. We
always seek the middle of the road or the
path where there is least resistanceI wish
that this campus were either hot or cold. I
wish that students were either fully committed
or not com'rnited at all. In other words if you're
a Christian leave no doubt in the minds of
others that you're a Christian. If you're a
skeptic leave no doubt in the minds of others
that you're a skeptic. Be consistent in what
you stand for.
No person can be labeled a "fanatic" be-
cause he has dedicated himself to a certain
way of life and because, having dedicated him-
self, he is consistent in what he stands for.
No criticism of a Christian could cut deeper
than that of half-committment or luke-
warmness. If your religion is not worthy of
your complete allegiance, then why bother
with it at all?
There must be something at the center
of every life. There must be someaim and
purpose in life. No matter what we believe
this aim and purpose to be, surely they must
be the same in the classroom as in the home
and in the soda shop and dormitory bull ses-
sions as in a quiet talk with a friend.
Religion is for the whole of life. We can-
not say. "I wll be religious in my spiritual
life" and then cast our religion aside in our
social and moral lives. It must penetrate every
area of life, becoming a part- of the whole
person instead of the whole for a part of the
person.
Are we afraid to commit ourselves to
something? Is it easier to be called "luke-
warm" or "middle-of-the-road" than a "re-
ligious fanatic?" Is it easier to serve two
masters than one?

Last Week's SGA.
A Big Farcical
Three-Ring Circus
KIXGLIXG BROTHERS and Bar-
and Bailey threw in the towel
last summer, pulled up the stakes,
an told the world there would be no
more big top.
The editorial pages of newspapers
rl. ovtr the country devoted space
to an editorial of nostalgia, looking
� ,� on the thrill of a circus and
the joys it offered for young and old
alike.
EVERYBODY enjoys a circus. And
1 vasal surprised in the lea.st when
I i. fellow left last Wednesday
night's meeting of the Student Gov-
�rnment Association, strolled over
to join a group of friends and com-
� ted. "This is only the second
time I've been, but if all of the meet-
ings are going to be like the one to-
i'ht. I'll be here every Wednesday-
night
1HERE WERE no tight rope wal-
9 over in Flanagan last week, no
trapesc act. or jugglers. But there
were entertainers and the result was
a big, farcical three-ring circus.
i wo weeks ago, Student Govern-
t ;ent Association President Dock
Smith gave previous notice to amend
two sections of the student consti-
� tion. One of the amendments dealt
directly with the members and du-
ties of the college Entertainment
Committee.
Smith wa: asking simply that a
phrase be added to one provision in
the article, insuring that a quorum
o" the Entertainment Committee be
present before any contracts could he
signed.
It was at last week's regular ses-
sion that Preident Smith introduced
the amendments. The heated debate
that followed the introduction was
I robably the biggest squabble over
n ting that ever took place in the
hi ory of East Carolina's Student
es!ature.
BY THE TIME legislators were
finally given an opportunity to over-
w eimingly approve Smith's proposed
changes anj the spokesmen from the
Entertainment Committee had taken
their seats, the President had been
charged with turning his back on
the committee, cutting their throats.
Sl! bmarine-type warfare, and com-
plete ignorance of the fact that you
just can't buy entertainment like a
can of pork and beans.
Dock Smith explained is move to
the newspaper before he ever touk
it before the SGA. He felt that a
?vuiortty o the committee members.
;n order to carry out their duties,
-htfuld be on had before any con-
tracta were signed to bring enter-
tainment here.
SPOKESMEN from the committee
seemingly took it for granted that
Smith was charging committee mem-
bers with sheer neglect in obtaining
t e best entertainment possible. And
v, htn a ; roposed motion, asking that
te whoie affair be left to a commit-
tee for study failed to receive a sec-
oi, the spokesmen, as I saw it,
proceeded to try and cut Smith's
throat by blaming him for something
for which he really hadn't blamed any
on p(-r-on. .
The President didn't mention the
m- 'ity of entertainment being brought
ere until such a rhubarb began. He

didn't get the point for any of
tfee remark which were bein tossed
around so freely. Dock Smith told me
after the meeting, "I wasn't trying
to cut anybody's throat But every-
body enjoys a circus.
Now word comes from the Admin-
istration Building that the newspaper
is to ' resent both sides of the case
before the amendments are put before
a -tudent vote.
The East Carolinian could have
easily presented both sides of the
argument in last week's paper. But
the front-page story concerning SGA
. activities was incomplete due to the
fact that a majority of the comments
from the Entertainment Committee
were "off the record

words are deleted, of course.
My friend Shorty is holding the

know, some peop.e say the US Army's

A tall, blonde young man in khaki

A big hurley boy named Mac wipes
his moutr with the sleeve of bis
jncket and says, "I always said that
we'd never pet oeat, here, unless
we ko out and start it. But if w�
start a fight, that'll be the time we
catch it
"That's right Shorty chirps, wa-
ving his hands.
A fat guy in flannels who has been
scraping around in the drink bin
sticks bis head up and says in an
effeminate voice' That ain't what's
kt!) us from losing, so far, though
Before he can elaborate, Shorty-
jumps i. with both feet, "Hell, no.
It's because every soljer in the A-
miican army's looking out for his-
self. He ain't worrying about God
save the Kinij or Queen or that
bizzness

draining tre last of his Pepsi.
The fat one comes up for more:
"That's right. It's freedom, is what
it is. We ain't used to being pushed

"The American's the best fighting

Mac says grimly, wiping his mouth
again on his sleeve.
"We don't have to the blonde says.

That brought a general nodtfirrg of
heads and grunts. Shorty lashed out
with a fol.ow-up, swinging a candy
bar around wildly, "What they shoulda
done was let Hitler keep right on
going inta London and blow that whole
gm place to peices. We'ed
been better off. Look at Suex now.
Look at Korea and all that He
frowns and shows his teeth.
"That right says the fat one.
At this point a girl comes in, goes
directly to the drink bin and begins
searching for an armful of Pepsi
Colas. The boy? look at her and
munch silently on their nabs and
sandwic es. Somebody burrs but no-
body's listening. They're all thinking
now, remembering something from
way back, or not so far back.
After the girl leaves, there b still
a short pause of silence, until Shorty
pops up with, "They sure is some

Each morning as we undertake
another day of work, we will, un-

Pirates Defeat
Belmont Abbey
By 95-74 Mark
BELMONT ABBEY�East Caro-
lina, rated a six-point underdog to
the Belmont Abbey Crusaders, here,
Saturday, went wild in the first quar-
ter to rack up a substantial lead and
hold it. They scored a stunning 95-
74 win over the home club in the non-
eomference affair.
Freddy James, starting bis first
game for the Bucs since long before
"hristmas, combined with guard
Charlie Adams to pump in the game's
"irst 13 points, giving the Pirates a
good lead.
Adams was the game's high scorer
with 25. James, who started as a for-
ward in Nick Nichols , ositiou, con-
tributed 18. Guy Mendenhall added
16, Joe Plaster 12, Don Harris 8,
Nichols 6, Tim Smothers 6 and Roy
Dennis 4.
The victory gives the Bucs a 9-7
mark overall.
East Carolina Cagers
To Play WCC Friday
Coach Howard Porter's Pirates will
be seeking revenge and an important
North State victory Friday night at
Memorial Gymnasium, when Western
Carolina comes to Greenville.
iveial weeks ago, in the first
nutting of the two teams, Western
Carolina edged the Bucs 66-64 in a
game that was hotly disputed.
The Bucs will be fighting to
strengthen their conference mark,
although their chances of holding
their position as defending regular-
sea sou champs are about lost.
Western Carolina is currently run-
ning high and mighty in conference
ratings and boasts a tall, powerful
clnb that scores well.
Coach Howard Porter is expected
to start Don Harris and either Nick
Nicols or Freddy James at forwards,
Guy Mendenhall and Charlie Adams
at guards, and Joe Plaster at center.
Probably seeing plenty of action at
reserve posts will be Harold Ingram,
Marion Hales, Tim Smothers.
James, who was a regular starter
for the Bucs all last season and part
of this, was benched early this year
and has just recently been working
with t e first five. His shooting and
defensive work has helped spark the
Bucs, in the past four games.
