The controversial subject which previously has been discussed and overwhelmingly approved by the Exe- cutive Council of the SGA has been withheld from the student legisla- ture because "it was thought that Negro entertainment would violate the school charter However, President Smith and a student government committee who have been investigating the possibili- ties of obtaining Negro entertainment for the school contacted North Caro- lina Attorney General George Pat- ton and found out that such enter- tainment would not violate the school charter. Violate Charter It was originally believed that since the East Carolina charter states that this institution was for tihe education of white men and women only, Negro entertainment would be considered education and thus violate the chart- By OLIVER WILLIAMS is scheduled er.

He said that the Attorney General pointed out, however, that this was an administrative problem. Smith Comments ?Commenting on what action he ex- pected the legislature to take on the much-debated subject, Smith said that he expected a vote of approval. "I feel that we are missing out on some of the top people in the en- tertainment field he continued, "by not having colored entertainment on our campus Legislative Committee Working with Smith on the Negro entertainment venture are Bucky Monroe, Rachel Lang, Eddie Dennis, Walter Hasty, Liz Hylton, Mike Katsias, Donnie Jones, and Jimmy Ferrell. President Messick Comments We have come to the fiftieth anniversary of the date on which the charter was granted for our splendid institution. As is fitting for such an occasion, we are concentrating two out- standing programs for Thursday and Friday, March 7 and 8. There will be no classes on Thursday from 9:00 until 11:00 so that you will have the opportunity to hear three of Amer- ica's outstanding men, Senator Monroney, Congressman Hill- ings, and John Metcalfe, an international news correspondent. Again, Thursday afternoon, you will have an opportunity to hear them and at 7:30 that evening. Please avail yourselves of this opportunity to gain in wisdom by listening to and discussing the world situation with these men. See MESSSICK, page 6 Jimmy Phelps has filed his candidacy for the SGA presi- dency and will oppose Eddie Dennis in the general election on March 21. The Greenville native has proposed a thirteen-point plat- form in which he says he isn't "making any foolish or out- landish campaign promises Phelps emphasizes "co-opera- tion between the students and the SGA and between the SGA and the administration He ad- vocates a "bigger and better East Carolinian" and would set up a committee to revise the SGA constitution.

He has been active in campus poli- tics since his freshman year when he was elected vice-president of his class and took over the presidency later in the year. Other Points The remainder of his platform and his comments on the individual points included: 4. Stady existing standing commit- tees. "Find out if present committees are functioning properly. Can they be improved?" 5. Obtain an evaluation of the park- ing system. "See if it is accomplishing every thing it .should. Ib all of the available space being utilized to its fullest extent?" 6.

He announced his decision this week and released an eight-point nlatform in which he places em- phasis on upperclassmen privi- leges in that they be allowed a more lenient cut system, calls for better entertainment and dances on campus, and asks for a revision of the present exam- ination schedule. A junior from Durham, Den- nis has served this year as chair- man of the Men's Judiciary. He has held positions on various SGA committees during his three vears here, and is active in fra- ternity and other organizational activities. "In the event that X am elected, I hope to fulfill the duties and obliga- tions of the office of president of the Student Government Association in the best interest of the entire student body he wrote in a letter to the newspaper. Platferm Dennis' platform and his comments on the various points include. 1. Upperclassmen privileges. "I want to see the upperclassmen allowed a more lenient cut system. It appears to me that by your junior and senior year of college a student should be emotionally mature enough to realize when he should cut a class an-1 when he should not. Students should be allowed to accept mere responsibility as part of their college training. "Also, I would like to see the up- perclassmen allowed one late per- mission a week (this is set st 1 a. m. at some of the other universities and colleges in the state.) I would desire the present late permission which is given for dances extended to i I. m. 2. Better entertainment and dances on campus. "I want to get some big name bends on campus?Bands like Ray Anthony, Louis lArmstrong, the late Glenn Miller's band, Harry Belafonte, and others. 3. Revision of exam schedule. "There should be at least one day between the last day of classes and the first day of exams. Also, there is no excuse for a teacher giving a regular test during the aame week that exams are to be given as was the case in several instances this past quarter, 4.

Williamson and Shiriee Smith, Associate Editor A. C Hinton, As- sistant Business Manager Joyce Mi- zelie and Features Editor June Miller. The Columbia Scholastic Press As- sociation's yearly convention is the world's largest convention of editors. Its purpose is to offer the latest and best methods of improving publica- tions, and to allow for a cooperative exchange of ideas. The 9CPA began in 1925 with 308 delegates and had grown to 4,533 in 1956. Since 1925. 74,897 Editors and Advisers have at- tended the conventions. The programs f?T this year in- cludes more than 150 meetings, con- ferences and discussions. Talks will be delivered by professional Journal- ists and outstanding members of the school publications field. Magazines, yearbooks and newspapers will he displayed, including selections from the 1956 Critique and Contest Delegates from the East Carolinian and Buccaneer expressed the convict- tion that a great deal will be rained by attending. ?AGE TWO EAST CAROLINIAN WEDNESDAY, MAhCK ( 3SKS ? mx, mw.ti ?. tsameeen sssss Election Day Nears March 21 is electionday. Only a small minority of HEst Carolina's students follow the activities of their sto- dent legislature, and many are completely oblivious of its existence or function This has always been true at East Carolina. Edi- torials on the subject have been published in this newspaper every year since it has been published. It is the duty of every student enrolled here to go to the polls March 21 and help choose the 1957-58 student legislature?the people who will decide how your $11 activity fee is to be distributed. Unless the people who will never take time to go to the polls make a special effort to do so on March 21, the vote will again be only one-third of the student body as it vbs in the controversial social fra- ternity poll. Both platforms of two presidential can- didates appear on page one of this week's is- sue. The East Carolinian has heard that others plan to run. but they are announcing their candidacy to? late to receive publicity in this week's issue. The Eddie Dennis-Jimmy Phelps battle should prove to be one of the most interesting to come along in recent years. They have par- ticipated actively in student government work and campus politics since their freshmen years here, know their way around student govern- ment circles, and are seemingly interested in seeing East Carolina's legislature go forward. We were surprised to learn that Phelps fails to touch the social fraternity situation at all in his platform. He is a staunch advocate of such organi- z.tti ns and was one of the leaders of the movement which brought them to East Caro- lina. We hope now that they are here, their organization and activities will be controlled in the proper way in order that our college will find them beneficial. Undoubtedly Phelps failed to mention social fraternities because he was afraid of the accusation that he would be supporting only that group. Or, maybe it was because he knew that support from these organizations was already won for his cause. Whatever the reason, we are sure that his first political love is for social fraternities. Even though the East Carolinian would like to see social fraternities thrive here, we think it would be unwise for the student gov- ernment president to be too engrossed in fra- ternities, and such a person could probably be more beneficial as president of the inter-fra- ternity council. The East Carolinian has decided which candidate we will support. All that we ask of the students is that they will support one of the candidates and above all?VOTE on March 21. Changes Needed A great deal has been said and done about fraternities in the past two years, and the most recent step taken by the fraternity-mind- ed people is the forming of an Inter-Fraterni- ty Council. Last quarter, when steps to form such a council were being contemplated, SGA presi- dent Dock Smith said that the success of fraternities here depends upon the progress made by the council which governs these or- ganizations. In recent months the jlnter-Frfetemity Council has taken concrete and definite steps which should help the fraternities survive the probationary period that they are now under- going. The East Carolinian feels, however, that the actions taken thus far are in a one-sided direction as far as the whole school is con- cerned in the fact at the first two council meetings only social fraternities have been re- presented. It seems that if the council is to accom- plish the purpose for which it is being es- tablished?namely, to keep the local fraterni- ties in line while acting on the local social level?that all fraternal groups whether honor- ary, service, or social should be included. To regulate and co-ordinate just the social groups would be only a third of the story as far as East Carolina is concerned. The other groups on campus which have dances, parties, and initiations need to be included in the fra- ternity council or else the whole idea will be somewhat of a farce. In other words, the council would have its main purpose the regulating of the fraterni- ty activities, such as establishing dates for the big fraternity dances in order to avoid conflicts, cor-ordinating initiation programs, and ether activities associated with social, service and to some extent honorary fraterni- ties. At East Carolna, the latter two types of fraternities are older and more established than the other type?social. Hence, many of the activities of the social fraternities and of a social fraternity council would be to some extent dependent upon the older groups. Therefore, before a great deal is done and time is lost, the East Carolinian feels that the fraternity council should see that all in- terested groups are invited to participate in activities that affect all of the fraternal organi- zations.

Jimmy Fenrell i ? ? i Truck Drivers, Hodges, And The Big 9.1 Plan THERE'S A LADY in FayettevUle who says, "It seems to me that tea- chers are never satisfied That's what Margaret Taylor McMa- han told 125,000 newspaper readers recently via a column which includes letters to the editor. Every school teacher in North Carolina and all East Carolina students, who plan to teach and understand the duties of teachers today, should write her a personal letter, expounding the plight of these underpaid, overworked, and misunderstood people. VgfewPfc; SHE SAYS a good teacher could never be i?"d for his or her services, but believes the pay comes in the joy of the work and the inner satisfaction of a job well done. No one can make a living for them- selves on joy and satisfaction, not even a school teacher. I suppose the teacher is to eat the daily apple Johnny brings, smile, and proceed to teach Johnny how to read. AND THIS LADY from Fayette- vUle can actually cite cases where "some of them go home every week- end and contribute nothing to the community where they make their living Any teacher, who has any initiative at all, will contribute just as much to a community during the five days he or she is teaching as other members of the community. After five days together, the tea- cher needs a change as well as the students. But this lady would probably have the teachers spend Saturday in th? corner drugstore sharing ice cream sodas with their students, Sat- urday night playing cards with the ? arents?"Pass . . . and I just can't understand Johnny's low average in math"?or watching television? "Doesn't Johnny have a smile like Perry Como?" Then there'd be Sunday School with Johnny, church with Johnny, Sunday dinner with Johnny, more cards, and more television. And Monday morning would find everyone hustling and bustling with excitement . . . Johnny must learn to read. Teachers will never be able to do enough for people like the Fayette- ville woman. ACCORDING TO the FayettevUle lady, teachers?just because they are teachers?have many advantages de- nied other people. . .wonderful hours, many holidays and three months du- ring wihich time they can study and travel abroad. Most teachers will ask, "On what? The FayettevUle lady would have all our female teachers old maids. ?"Society would be better off if a good many of them would stay home and look after their households and net be working to make a new in- vestment here and there A teacher with children can under- stand better the problems in her classroom because she has experi- enced such situations in her own home. She won't be making extemporaneous decisions along the punishment line. SHE SAYS, "My husband goes to work when it is black dark and in winter H is black dark when he gets home again Well, maybe he'd have it that way. I wonder if she's ever heard of lesson plans, grading papers, reports, and that sort of thing. She thinks Governor Hodges "is a a-reat governor, the best we've ever had That's what some of his supporters are saying, too. "If he recommends a 9.1 per cent raise he does so only after careful study of the over-all picture and a long-range view of the whole pro- gram she continues. And in conclusion, "Governor Hod- ge8 is doing the beat he can for every- body?the teachers included Jimmy Terrell Editor Mary Ellen Williams Business Manager I'VE HEARD something about a raise for the Governor, members of the Council of State, and everybody knows that truck drivers are doing fine. Governor Hodges fought for the Pearsall Plan so educational standard in North Carolina couldn't be lowered. Now why doesn't he fight for that 19.31 per cent pay raise for teachers? They're operating North Carolina's ed"cational system. The lady from FayetteviMe could be anyone from the neice of the Super- intendent of .Public Schools to Gov- ernor Hodges' sister. I dont know her.

Bryan Harrison Poor Richard's Black Book No doubt you have already read Jan Raby'a column, Pot Pourri, ap- pearing at the top right-Land corner of this page. Her column has a better spact- and bigger type than mine. We are both treating the same topic this week, a mutual favorite -Benjamin Franklin and The Thirteen Points. Benjamin Franklin?, hilosopher, scientist, inventor, diplomat, moralist, wrer. Poor Richard and hi.s al- manac. Poor utilitarian Ben and his Memoirs. It is in "his Memoirs that he gives us fiis famou.? Thirteen Points. Ben had a little black book in which he kept a record of his virtue. Every time he made a booboo he put a check by the virtue which he violated. At the end of Che week he counted hi.s .sins on the moral tally sheet. He figured if he concentrated on a par- ticular virtue every week, that by the end of thirteen weeks lie would be the perfect man. Thirteen easy lessons in moral per- fection. Gamble a three-cent postage .stam. and send o'f for Ben Frank- lin's thirteen-week virtue-building course. You too can be the perfect man. Of course, you get all this non- sense in English 210 and Miss Raby as already listed it, but just for fun of it, let's do it again. The Thirteen Points: 1. Temperance. Eat not to fullness; drink not to elevation. (It's too bad Ben didn't define fullness. I always pictured him as a fat man.) 2. Silence. Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself (I guess that shuts my water off.) i Order. Let all things have their places; let each part of your business have its time. (Does that include departmental meetings?) 4. Resolution. Resolve to perform what you ought; perform wthout fail what you resolve. (On my honor, I will do my best . . . ) r. Frugality. Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself . . . (Which costs little.) 6. Industry. Lose no time; be al- ways employed in something useful; cut off all unnecessary actions. (Shucks! No more beer and televi- sion.) 7. Sincerity. Use no hurtful deceit; think innocently and justly, and speak accordingly. (What if your dirty mind won't let you think innocently?) 8. Jutice, Wrong none by doing in- juries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty. (Such as helping old ladies across the street.) i Moderation. Avoid extremes; for- bear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve. (Okie Dokie.) 10. Cleanliness. Tolerate no un- clean! iness in body, clothes, or habi- tation. (And don't forget to brush your teeth.) 11. Tranquility. Be not, disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable. (Be not disturbed if you break your neck in an unavoid- able accident.) 12. Chastity. Rarely use venery but for health or offspring, never to dull- ness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputa- tion. (Who us-s "venery"? Most peo- I le just "do it) 13. Humility. Imitate Jesus and Soc- rates. The type of humility displayed in this iast statement has always amused me. Imitate Jesus and Socrates. Ben doesn't ask for much in the humility department. Needless to say, Ben's black-book system didn't work. I doubt if it lasted thirteen weeks. At any rate, Ben wasn't morally perfect. Poor Richard. Hig Thirteen Points are doomed to the same fate as new year resolution. in February. Franklin's best field was diplomacy. He went to France to borrow money for the American colonies. He played with some big boys over in Europe, but he came out on top. I can hardly understand how anyone so success- ful as a world diplomat have such a naive conception of human beings as illustrated in his list of virtues. I can hardly believe he did. But if he didn't, why was he so intent in pull- ing a fast one on the reader. Per- haps he was becoming mellow in his old age Ben Franklin, writer. Bosh. At his best he was a champion cliche ex- pert. Ben Franklin, the great Ameri- can philosopher. Hogwash! One of those homespun philosophers who peered at the world over his rose colored bifocals. Martha Wilson The Handiwork Of Fifty Years The campus as we see it today is the handiwork of fifty years of plan- ning, construction, renovation, land- scaping, and expansion. From an empty expanse of acres of sand and a few natural groves of trees blossomed ifortih a thriving institution of higher learning, now claiming the fourth largest enroll- ment of colleges and universities in the state. The students kept coming, through the days of racoon coats to camel's hair, the Charleston to Be- Bop-A-Lula, Alexander's Ragtime Band to Whiffenpoof. The men and women who guided and enriched the college's phenomen- al growth and progress during this half a century will be forever re- membered through the various physi- cal facilities bearing their names. Senator James L. Fleming of Pitt County who introduced the bill for the establishment of East Carolina Teachers Training School and Gov- ernor Thomas J. Jarvis who helped locate the school in Greenville' are honored by two women's dormitories. From Original Faculty Two lother -women's dormitories are named for W. H. Ragsdale and C. W. Wilson, both of the original faculty. Three activity buildings bear the names of original faculty mem- bers Herbert E. Austin, Maria D. Graham, and President Robert H. Wright. Davis Arboretum' commemo- rates Sallie Joyner Davis of the origi- nal faculty; and the Mamie E. Jen- kins Faculty-Alumni House is another of the original fourteen. Five faculty members who gave many years of service to the college are paid homage to by Slay Hall for a director of the sociology depart- ment; Adelaide E. Bloxton Home Management House for a head of the uume economics department; John B. Christenbury Memorial Gym- nasium for a coach who lost his. life in World War ill; M. L. Wright Circle for a head of the sociology department; and Wahl-Coates Train- ing School for Miss Wahl, current principal of the school, and Miss Coates, teacher. Spillman Administration Building has been dedicated to a former busi- ness manager of the college; and Mc- Ginnis Auditorium, to a former regis- trar, director of field services, and acting president. .Erwin Hall, Joyner Library, Gar- rett Hall, Flanagan Building, and Flanagan Sylvan Theatre all carry the names of former members or chairmen o-f the college Board of Trustees. Cotten Hall is so entitled in honor of Mrs. Sallie Southall Cotten, a writer and leader in North Carolina; and Umstead Hall, in honor of the late Governor William B. Umstead. The Gates Bearing the names of five lady edu- cators are the gates at the Fifth Street entrances to the campus: Miss Kate Beckwith, first lady principal (Dean of Women); Miss Elisabeth Hyman and Miss Ann iRedwine, for- mer members of the training school faculty; Miss Kate W. Lewis of the original faculty; and Miss Ola Ross, for many years assistant registrar. Today the once barren fields bear the fruits of labor of those who came before us. The first steps toward beautification of the campus grounds were taken by the late Jacques Bus- bee, . a noted North Carolina artist who won fame as the owner and operator of Jugtown Potteries. Un- der his direction were planted the first camellia bushes in front of Austin Building. Landscaping Really extensive landscaping started in the 1930's under the administra- tion of Dr. Wright. On the sugges- tion of Mr. W. L. Wright 300 or 400 more camellia bushes were plant- ed as well as various other shrubs, cedars, magnolias, holly trees, etc. Wright Circle was designed and tfce broad, swampy area behind Graham Building was converted into a Jap- anese sunken lake complete with little bridges and boats and flanked with weeping willows. Later this was drained and Davis Arboretum was planted, content with a little stream winding beneath the pines and cherry trees and other saplings.

In the first place, very few peoph living today who were interested in i Carolina in its beginning years. How there is one person?Mr. Haywood Di Greenville?who was vitally inter- 51 establishing a teachers' college here and can remember not only the beginning ef East Carolina's history, but even fui back when there was a great deal of position to even having such an instilut During an interview with Mr. Da week, the old gentleman of 78 recall years when he was a young man of 28 very interested in a movement to obt. college for this area. Mr. Dail recalls the hard time that ? interested people in this area had in g a bill to establish a college through the legislature. "All the old-line educators were agai a teachers' college Mr. Dail explain- "They thought that it would take api priations from the University Afer a long struggle, however, the good news came through to Greenville : Mr. Jim Fleming, state senator from the Pitt County district and father of Mr. Jar Fleming of the Foreign Language Depart- ment, wired from Raleigh: "Bring up port from Greenville, I've got mv fool in the door Mr. Dail remembers traveling to Rah with Governor Jarvis, Dr. Laughingho R. J. Cobb and a small group of Green residents and later returning with a $25, appropriation for a college to be established somewhere in Eastern Carolina. "But the work had just begun with Mr. Dail went on to say. "Rockv Mount and Elizabeth City were making bids for the college, and the people of Greenville and Pitt County were not particularlv inte- rested "We just can't leave such an indel ness on our children the main opposition usually complained. After another hard struggle, Greenville and Pitt County decided to float a bond issue of $100,000, and the college was award- ed to this area. "Even after this, there was still a great deal of opposition and resentiment the old man continued. "I recall meeting one of my best friends on the street a few days after the bond vote, and boy was he boiling "Told you that this college was gonna ruin us. My taes are twice as much as ever before the old-timer grumbled. Mr. Dail asked to examine the old man tax receipt and found that the college bond tax was only four cents. "I gave him a nickle and told him that I would pay his bond tax as long as I lived Mr. Dail chuckled. AND SPEAKING OF CONTROVERS- IAL CURRENTTS . . . remember the date- March 21. nS ELECTION DAY!

For twenty-five years he guided the development of the school. Dr. Wright saw the institution become an accredited college offering both the bachelor and the master's degrees and won for it a position of prestige oth in and out of the state. The college was fortunate too in its first faculty of fourteen members, who became a stabilizing force in the early years. A quarter century after the school first opened, five of the original faculty were still working side by side with President Wright, Miss Sallie Joyner Davis of the his- tory department, Mis.s Maria D. Graham of the mathematics depart- ment. Miss Kate V. Lewis of the art i department, Miss Mamie E. Jenkins of the English department, and Dr. Leon R. Meadows. Alter President Wright's death in 1934, Dr. Meadow.s was chosen presi- dent and served until 1944. After his resignation, Dr. EL J- McGinnis of the faculty was acting president until the appointment in 1945 of East Carolina's third presi- dent. Dr. Dennis H. Cooke, now pres- ident o: High Point College headed the school for a year. Messick Becomes President Jn ly47 East Carolina entered a period of phenomenal progress marked by expansion of physical facilities, growth in number of students and staff members, and development of new fields of service to education in the .state. These developments are de largely to the capable leadership of East Carolina's president for the past ten years, Dr. J. D. Messick. Enrollment has more than tripled will include a since 1947. The 1955-1956 average enrollment of 3254 men and women taking work on the campus and this year's total to date of 3502 indivi- dual students present a sharp con- trast to the '104 females and 19 males" who began their studies on October 5, 1909. Six building were ready for use by the first students. In 1947 there were twenty-two. Recent additions to the physical plant are impressive but are still not adequate for the work of the growing school. In many obvious and many subtle ways, the presence of an institution of learning means an increase in both educational and cultural advantages for the people. So East Carolina mean.s a better and fuller life .for Eastern North CaroMna in particular and for the state in general.

Messick Anticipates Future Needs In College's Growth I have been requested by the editors of the East Caro- linian to venture a guess, or predict the future of the college or its status fifty years from now. That's an impossible task but one that Jules Verne would tackle?and so must I. Following a recent survey made by Space Utilization Analysis Incorporated, of New York, they predicted that en- rollment in 1965 at East Caro- lina will be 5800. If this predic- tion is true, by 1970 this num- ber should be increased to at least 7500, and by the year 2000, according to the way pop- uiati n is growing, there will have to be either many other lieges or the enrollment here HI pr-bably be 15,000. Looking forward to the nr A f' r expansion, the Gen- eral Assembly is being asked for money to purchase land a- cros Fourteenth Street, which w uld double the size of the ?resent campus, and if tall ' tutdinga were erected a large 'lumber of students could be ac- o modated. With the increase in number of students the history of colleges everywhere has been that the curriculum, likewise, has necessarily expanded. Fifteen years ago" no one predicted that Florida State College for W men would now be Florida State University, Tallahassee, with its marvelous plant, large student body and diversified curriculum. I would predict that some day, but probably not in my Lime, that East Carolina vould be an institution similar to Flor- ida St:ite University at Tallahassee. Within the immediate fu- ture, perhaps within the next ten years, there should be a School of Agriculture and a School cf Nursing on our campus, and graduate work for the Master's degree should be expanded. Not nearly enough teachers are being educated for the junior col- le.s'and lower levels of the senior colleges. We placed eleven ?uch people last year, who have the Master's degree; there is n increasing need for nrre colleges to expand their programs !ti this direction. Not new, but possibly just a few years hence, the Doctor of Education decree may become necessary in var- ious fields f teacher education, supervision and administration. N curriculum, however, should be expanded until there is an absolute need as shown bv the number who demand it, else trjo rtrocram v-ould be undulv expensive.

The girls dubbed these the "Saturday Evening Posts Styles She remembers President Wright once discussing styles since 1909 and Mis.s Mamie Jenkins sitting on the stage in a very stylish outfit, her skirt barely touching her knees Miss Jenkins, a charter member of the "acuity, died recently.

She grinned, "I really wasn't supposed to do that but since so many high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors were invited, I explained to Dr. Messick that it was a good high school day Susie proved a point. This year the largest number of Greenville High .students are enrolled here, 64 out of the '56 graduating class of 96 stu- dents. ?tes a student at three-fifths the ?mount that is appropriated (per capita for the University system, North Carolina College at Durham, Pembroke, and other state-supported irtitutions, the State would be saving money by providing supplementary offerings when there is sufficient demand at East Carolina College. I see no further need for a Medical School, Engineering, Law, or any other school in which the number is limited when they can be taken care of in a central State University. There should, however, as staged above, be a vast broadening of the Master's program which would include the various areas of the Liberal Arts as well as teacher education. Plans for two dormitories for men are almost completed and funds are being requested for two additional dormitories as well as for expansion of the administration building, an annex to the cafeteria, a new class- room building and an addition to Graham building for education andl in other areas. 'mildings, an annex to the music building, and an extension to the College Union building are very much needed. If we have these within the next two years, then except for more dormitories we shall probably be well taken care of until 1965, unless the State sees fit to grant a Nursing School and a School of Agriculture, in which case more facilities would be needed for these programs. We are in the heart of the leading farm belt .for the State and training in agriculture is needed; also training for nurse is limited in this area. Therefore, there is much evidence that tvese programs should be added in the near future. Based on the record of the past, and the philosophy of successive fac- ulties and administrators, we feel that we are safe in saying that the basic purpose of the College, "To Serve" will not be changed?merely the media for this service, primarily curriculums -offered, which should keep pace witih changes and growth psychology.

Among the opponents are such namec as Wake Forest, State, High Point, Elon, Guilford, Atlantic Christian, and the College of Charleston. If plans are favorable, the Pirates will tour the south during the Easter! holidays. , Safety Course Dr. Charles DeShaw of the Athletic Department announced this week that all people inter- ested in taking the Red Croae Water Safety Instructor eoerse should sign a sheet now posted on the main bulletin board at Memorial Gymnasium. Not too long ago, a week to be exact, I journeyed over to Memorial Gym to have an interview with the amiable track mentor for East Caro- lina, Dr. James O. Miller. After closely searching trie athletic ofLiee my quest was finally rewarded! This is on? person the secret formula of the H-bomb would be safe with. To every direct question I asked him, he gave the same evasive answer? "Don't quote me If I didn't know better, I'd think the fellow was har- boring another Dave Sime in our midst. The man who wi'l lead the trackster.s ?nee more this year, by the way it's now officially a varsity sport, expects he similar success story that they enjoyed last .season. In case you've forgotten, last year's edition made .shambles of the North State Confer ence meet and compiled a record of five wins as against two losses. That doesn't seem like too bad a record Tor a college whic ofers no track scholarships and dkht even list the sports as one of varsity status. Though Miiler is on the lookout for, prospective talent, he's blessed with ai veteran team. Returning once again is the now almost legendary form of "Injun" Jim Henderson, winner of the outstamding performer trophy At the conference meet for the last two years. In Henderson, the Pirates rave one of the most outstanding I dashmen in the area. He excels in the century race, the 220, and with the proper incentive, his time in the high hurdles is sparkling also. Another standout of the cinder sport is Robert Maynard, of low hurdle fame. May- nard is the running companion of Henderson and he's no slouch, keep your eyes on this lad. The Pirate cause this year is blessed with returning distance men. Cliff Buck and Poster Morse are the big men in this department. Both were very impressive last year and appear destined for new heights in the coming campaign. Others of note for the cinder team are such men as Patterson, Bishop, Holmes, and Dennis. With talent like this the sea- son in my book looms as very bright Among the foes the Pirates will face are N. C. State, University of Richmond, Hampden-Sidney College, rd William & Mary Division and Newport News Apprentice School in x triangular meet. The strongest foe appears to be the Spiders of the Uni- versity of Richmond. Another high- light of the season will be the con- tinued rivalry with Elon in the con- ference meet. The tracksters of East Carolina will face a rigid test of survival against the schedule, but they have the material for the job. It's a team made up of men wiho really desire to come out for the love of the sport, football players trying to stay in shape for next Fall, and the hard core known as "naturals Follow them well, this year's team appears lea? and hungry for conquest.

In making this statement I might add that this is no re lection of the superior ideas and work on the part of my co-worker, Shirlee Smit If I reflected her work, I would only be doing the same to mine. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Shirlee, and I am certain that without her dreams combined with her toils, the book could not possibly be what we hoped it to be. Now that the book has gone to press. I can look back and see places that I feel would have been much bet- ter, handled in a different way. I have no regrets, but I am simply saying that all editors can look back after a year's work and see how much bet- ter things would have been if they had been done in a different manner. Only if an editor succeeds himself, does he have the opportunity of cor- recting his errors and using his pre- vious experiences to the improvement of the present publication. It is with College Union Notes Progress Made In The Chess Program Here The College Union is proud of the progress made in the Chess program. At the resent time there is a chess! tournament underway which is gath ering interest all the timeThere are sixteen participants in the tournament including faculty as well as students and plenty of .tiff competition. Chess is a fascinating game orig- inating in ancient Asia?claims have, been ma ie ,tor 'India, China and Persia. Prom the time of the first printing real the game has under- gone no important change. It was. well known in England, and much of English literature from Chaucer to Shakespeare has described it. Chess has the advantage of age and uni- versality over most other games, for the rules and law are the same wherever it is played. One widely held popular belief is that chess is "too deep for the average person, but this is nonsense, for in some countries chess is as popular as Haseball and children learn to play. Of course a chess master may per: form remarkable feats, but then it takes time to learn the intricacies of any sport. We invite you to come on down to the Coliege Union and learn to play chess. Mrs. Fagan is on hand to instruct you every Mon- day night, and you too can enjoy a .ascinating game of chess.

Dr. Wellington B. Gray Author Of Article Dr. Wellington B. Gray, director of the department of art, is the author of an article on "Historical Sta.tus of Graduate Degrees in Art Education" included in the "Journal of Educational Research Dr. Gray's paper indicates that the earliest degrees on the graduate level were unearned, or honorary, in the United States. Establishment of re gular programs of instruction lead- ing to the master's degree took place in this country about the middle of the eighteenth century, he says, and those leading to the doctor's degree were first introduced in the nine teenth century. . The first graduate degrees in the specialized field of art education, ac- cording to available records, were granted in the present century, he explains. Art, hf states, has in recent years won increasing recognition as Man integral factor in all society with the results that art education has come to be more and more in demand in the school curriculum. "Since art education has become so important Dr. Gray points out, "it is equally important to provide the staff which can teaeh in the pro gram. This is true whether the staff is for the public school or the col- lege. With the continually improving standards required for teachers In the public schools and colleges it becomes necessary to secure further prepara tion in the form of advance degreea.M NOW OPEN FOR BUSINESS THE SILO Shake and Burger AT THE SILO RESTAURANT SHAKES BURGERS I 19c 19c Milk Shakes Made.
