He said that most of the people understood the position of the judic- iary since the bylaws were definitely vague on this point. No Issue Kat. ias stated that most of the student expressing an opinion to his investigating committee felt that no real issue was involved since there was a state law concerning alcoholic beverages and since the administra- tion had issued a bulletin explaining it. Administrators Comment The committee chairman stated that most of the administrators and fac- ulty that were contacted felt the same way as the students. Commenting on the issue, Dean Tucker toli the committee that pen- alties concerning the possession of such beverages on campus, on the ) rson, and in the dorms will be dealt with accordingly by the administra- tion and the judiciary.

The hot cage rivalry that has been raging between the two schools -ince I98f will lie blazing anew tonight, ?s the Bulldogs try to do something ?hat no ACC club has been able to 'o in five years. Coach Jack Mc- omas' crew will be shooting to earn a victory over the Bucs on the Mem- orial Gymnisium floor?and pre- Jictions give the Bulldogs a good c" ance of achieving that goal to- ? -ight. Atlantic Christian is currently boasting a 6-5 mark in North State Con'erence play and has produced one of t" e strongest club in the Wilson College's history. ECC, on the other hand is having one of its worst sea- sons to date. The Pirates have a 5-6 mark in conference at present and have been beaten twice in the cele- brated "Jinx" gym already. Br s Favored The nigh . i'ter Western Carolina toppd tht i irates here 74-68, they traveled to Wilson and were trimmed 90-64 by the Bulldogs. This fact, along with the two comparative records and the fact that ECC has been having injury woes seems to point to a third Pirate loss in Mem- orial Gymnasium. A thing that the predictors fre- quently overlook however, is the fact that records mean nothing in a rivalry as hot and intense as the ECC-ACC one. Last season, ECC was riding high over the rest of the loop and ultimately wound up the regular- season cham: ions. They clipped ACC here in Memorial Gym and were rated favorites in the Wilson contest. The Bulldogs, however, hadn't read the predictions. They turned on the power to hand a decisive licking to the visit- ing Pirates. Coach Howard Porter has been having a lion's share of difficulty this season with his starting lineup. Early in the season, the Fox was not entirely .satisfied with his roster as it was. He experimented and shifted and ultimately came up with a better- working outfit. Then, further trouble invaded the local camp. Injuries.

We are running it again for those of you who heard it being discussed but failed to read it. Guest ivriter Ralph Lamm, a senior from Wilson, is presi- dent of both the Inter-Religious Council and the Baptist Student Union.?Editor.) What I have to say here may have been said a long 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 mankind. 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 ib least resistance. I wish that this campus were either hot or cold. I wish that students were either fully committed or not commited 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 ox your complete allegiance, then why bother with it at all? There must be something at the center of every life. There must be some aim 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 ?le 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? Jimmy FerreH Favorite Stories Concerning AC's Bulldog Group MY FRIENDS in the Wilson area are continuously reminding m? , of the fact that East Carolina's Pirates have had rough sailing this year and should be flying their flag at half mast. I'm quick to point out, however, that no news has drifted down our way concerning the Bulldog's winning a blue ribbon in any canine show. ATLANTIC CHRISTIAN comea to Memorial Gym tonight amidst a time of crisis for both the Bulldogs and Porter's Pirates. Contrary to the past few years, both of the teams are clinging to the North State Confer- ence's midriff while some of the west- erners enjoy top positions on .the totem pole. At any rate, however, should Coach Porter's crew stow away a victory tonight, it would be an indication of a successful season so far as East Carolina's student body is concerned. Pot Pourri Advice From A Great American Philosopher By JAN RABY man, must Waldo Em (iT'S THE time of the year that I turn sports writer and devote space to some of my favorite stories about Atlantic Christian's basketball ag- gregation. A publicity man from the Wilson school, a rather nice fellow who often isited the sports editor of The Wil- son Daily Times during the summer, wa. always telling me some tall tales about the AC team that was sure to bam up the North State Conference during thi basketball season. He made it a point to give me a weekly account of the activities of a long, tall fellow from down around the coast who was born tossing bas- ketballs through a hoop.

We must appreciate and actively pro- mote this heritage or lose our right to worship according to the dictates of our conscience, as have most of the totalitarian nations through- out the world. It is a great privilege to have with us this week a group of outstanding Christian leaders who are sacrificing their time that we may be benefitted. Let's make the most of this oppor- tunitv. , , . , President John D. Messick EVEN I felt sorry for him when he brought the sad news to the Time sports department a few weeka later. "We lost him he told the sports editor quietly. The Times sports editor, an ECC graduate and a former sporte editor o the East Carolinian, lost hi bal- ance momentarily and practically fell from his chair. He's a devoted ACC fan now and his wife i. an instructor there. AC's publicity man was extremely irritated over the whole mess. "He just couldn't make it.

There's one long, tall one Porter's boys won't have to worry about. ?'Pistols at ten paces" was the code of honor in this country during the early part of its history. It was a time when gentlemen proved their courage by facing each other across the field of honor. However, when Robert E. Lee, him- self the epitome of honor and chi- valry, showed men that useless blood- shed was not necessary for gentlemen to prove their valour, the code duello passed from the scene. Maybe it was at this time when honor was lost. Perhaps when the code disappeared, honor disappeared with it. I, for one do not think so, but obviously some of our professors feel that the element is lacking among East Carolina students. I thought for awhile that the col- lege was going to introduce the honor sytem, but at the rate they are going (Indeed, if they are going at all) it will be a long time after I have graduated before they have introduced honor to East Carolina .students a comfortable distance from their neighbors and supervise the taking of the test with hawk-like eyes. To me, the first system is sensible. Why should a teacher bother if his student cheat? It certainly doesn't lower his salary nor, in my way of thinking, lower his prestige as a teacher. 1 cannot help but feel that it is a gross insult to the innate dignity of my honor when a professor asks me to move my seat when taking a teat. 1 won't cheat. And if anyone wants to take the risk of looking on my paper, he may, for I am not in com- petition with him or anyone here. I am here to learn and that's all. And H feel that if my professors were more concerned with my learning and less with my cheating then I feel that I would learn more and my classmates would cheat less. Nevertheless, teachers will worry and students will cheat, but here M what I'm getting at. What difference does it make if they do? As I said before, I am not com- peting with anyone and it's no ?kin off my teeth if anyone else wants to cheat. And what difference should it make to the professor if students want to cheat. When they graduate from college, no one will be on hand to see if they are going to cheat. I think teachers should be teachers and not guardians of honor. I think that a school's fa- culty should be a faculty and not 3ome kind of police force to watch out for dishonest people. Now these "rules" are, no douh' say on this caripus and I should apologize?but rather, "I have just to fight Quoting further, "What 1 n do is ail that concerns me, not v eople think.

"Man is his own star; and the soul that Render an honest and a perfect man Commands all light, all influence, a Nothing to him falls early or too la Our acts our angels are. or good - r ill. Our fatal shadows that walk by us Introduce honor to students? Yes, you see most students are not familiar with it, having been trained in an atmosphere of suspicion and miatrnat throughout their high school years and most of their col- lege years. THE FOLLOWING DEPRESSING tale which I am going to reveal was related to me by an ACC student, and the irate narrator still looks upon the incident with a peevish attitude, notwithstanding the fact that it all took place approximately two years ago. This AC team which you will be seeing tonight is known around aports circles as "Bulldogs and their mas- cot ia, logically enough, a real, live bulldor?the leading character in this tale. Some te-ichers have a nice system They simply give the test and 'eave the classroom and never worry about their pupil cheating. Several even allow their students to leave the room themselves while taking a test. Others, however, demand that stu- dents change seats until they are at I realize that some student3 will cheat. The cause of it is probably to be found in human nature. However, it is apparent that if less emphasis were put on grades there would be less cheating. And those elaborate seating arrangements actually set a challenge for the potential cheater and defy him to look on someone else's paper and get away with it. Also, when a student feels that a quit, is unfair, he may lose his com- punction for cheating. Although I know that teachers can hardly help but s!i;i and give one that might be termed "unfair However, avoiding true-false, multiple choice tests, the curve, and the like might decrease the cheating potentiality. Give me the days of Robert E. Lee when a man was trusted and was considered honest until he was proved otherwise. Frankly, it is almost as hard to prove your honor in the class- room as it was on the dueling field. I'll bet if Andy Jackson or Alex- ander Keith MeClung or Jim Bowie were attending college today, they would have to meet some member of the faculty every morning at sun- rise. Back to the 20th century, I don't imagine it would be expedient to challenge your instructors to a duel every time they asked you to move your seat. At the same time, any student with a sense of honor would be justified in feeling indignant. 't would do me good if someday one of my professors walked in and said to his class.

It seems that East Carolina's mi- nor varsity sports, track, golf, tennis nnd switninmg, are making more ealway in the difficult task of ar- ranging competition (and also of disosing of it) than either of the three major sports. loach Jack Boone's gridders have tried in vain for many seasons to arrange games with some of the big ger schools in the South and only last year were they able to obtain a game with Richmond University. The bas- ett.a:lers can't get within a city block of any of the state's Big Time i earns. Most of the Big Four club cans wouldn't dream of putting i-ii teams in a position of possible fiubarrassment. Th? Pirate baseball club, defending N'orth State Champions, have man- Hged to net games with Wake Forest ;?nd Michigan, among others. This .s probably the biggest step toward getting into the national spotlight i t lias been accomplished by any of the big three sports teams here. Swimming But it is in the realm of the minor sports that EOC has made the biggest and fastest step toward progress, to- ward meeting and beating Nation- ally-ranked teams of worth. The Pi- rate Swimmers, under Coach Ray- mond Martinez, have gone so far as to schedule games with powerhouses like Georgia, Clemson, Wake Forest, Nort Carolina, North Carolina State, Duke. VPI. VMI. South Carolina and The Citadel. And many of these ma- jor clubs have been forced to bow low- to the EC tankers. Some, like Clem- son, have refused to meet the Bucs again on schedule after receiving a ound licking at the hands of the unknown Greenville school. ECO Tracksters Beginning Brills For Early Meets e'll Be At The Pirate Helm Martinez has come up with a pow- erful and consistent group o ard workers who have made good show- ings against the best and mincemeat of the rest.

The; also copped ever North State Championship laurels during the pksi year. Golf ECC Gol'ers, competing frequently with Big Four linksters. have long been ca-able of handling their own ?gainst the biggei colleges in the -tate and against top out-of-etate opposition. Last season was one of the worst m istory for the Buc put- ters, but there's always tomorrow. On t'e whole, the progress made n these four minor varsity sports at ECC has been a tremendous step toward a well-rounded sports regram for the school and toward establish- ing a link with the bigger, nationally- ranked school, in the South. We pa them tribute. t o J. O. Miller's East Care- ma track ad field team has been practicing this week in full force, getting ready for a rugged 1157 sche- dule.

During the first several games immediately after Christmas, Nichols encountered a dislocated shoulder injury often. He was forced to muss two recent games due to that injury. Nichols returned to the lineup for the Western Carolina game last week and topped in 15 points to take ECC scoring honors. But Joe Plaster, 6-11 center missed that game due to a painful knee injury suffered earlier in that afternoon. He fell down the steps ?f Flanagan building and cut himself. Porter kept him out of the game and his absence was probably a big factor in the outcome of the game. Will Need Plaster Speaking of the coming game, Coach Porter stated early this week that "We'll have to he at full strength to beat Atlantic Christian this time. We'll need both Plaster and Nichol- tn there with the rest of our starters At present, Plaster's fate was un- certain. The nature of his accident is not fully known, however, at the first of the week the big sophomore center wa neither able to run or jump. ACC's Big Guns Perhaps the biggest gtrta in the ACC scoring attack are forward Billy- Widgeon and guard Jack Underwood. Widgeon averaged 15.8 last year and is doing better this season. Under- wood, a 5-10 transfer guard from Belmont Abbey, is a proli ic .scorer. He threw in 43 against Elon last week. Commenting on the ACC style of )lay, Porter also said this week, "They use the N. C. State style of play, re- lying heavily on good rebounding work. Marley handles most of the work on the boards and Widgeon and Underwood are the boy.s to stop on the floor The probable starting lineup, as stated by Porter, will be Don Harris and Nick Nichols at forwards and Guy Mendenhall at one of the guards. The rest of the positions are uncertain. If Plaster is in shape, he will un- doubtedly be called upon to work at the center po't- The remaining guard position will be filled by someone known only to Porter at present. Can- didates for that slot are Charlie Adams, Freddy James and Ike Bid- dick. Game time is 8:00 and a full house i guaranteed. C HEBER FORBES LADIES READY-TO-WEAR CLOTHES COACH HOWARD PORTER?The Fox.

However, adds Miss Raulston, "We know what we're doing but nobody else does Such a scene as this occurs every Thursday night in the radio studio of Joyner Library when East Carolina's first radio and television class meets with Miss Raulston from 6:30 to 9 o'clock. There are 15 students enrolled in thi.s three hour radio and TV tech- niques course which is designed pri- marily for juniors and seniors. It is a professional course in that it teaches techniques of performance and pro- duction; and, it i a liberal arts course in that it teaches the history, social aspect and literature of these two mediums of mass communication. Project work consisting of listening and viewing activities plus production performance, individual and group work proceeds from the first meeting of the class concurrently with reading activity concerned with the back- ground of radio and television vs. scientific, social, business, and govern- mental operations. After this introductory course, the student should he able to decide the :hase of radio or television in which he could specialize as a career.
