NAIA Champions
Swimming Team Receives Big Welcome
An unexpected large crowd of East
Carolina College students were on
hand last Monday night at Memorial
Gym to greet the East Carolina swim-
mir.g team who won the national
NAIA swim title last Saturday night.
There was never a dull moment
among the spirited or
gan to gather around 8:30 and re
mained until the team arrived at 9:30.
Helping to keep tne crowd alive were
the band, who sounded out with Dixie,
and the cheerleaders with their snake

chants.
Also awaiting the arrrval of the
conquering heroes were Dr. Messick,
president of the college; Dean Jen-

Butler, sports publicity director; and
Dr. Jorgensen, EGC Athletic Direct-

Scores Big Victory In College Union;
Carries Four Of Women's Dormitorys
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
Jimmy Phelps turned an uneasy tide established in the first SGA ballot last week and cap-
tured the presidency of the student government iy a sweeping 357 votes in a first runoff.
Gaining ground that was lost by his opponent in every female dorm, Phelps took the hon-
ored spot by a vote of 876 to 519, according t. official results released by the Elections Com-
mittee.
Along with the assured votes from the men residents and day students, Phelps changed the
minds of 200 women between the initial ballot and the last v. ting to tally up his sweeping mar-
gin.
Impressive Gains t . ??
With only a vacated weekend and
two school days, he proved that men
are easier to swing than women by
scoring an impressive margin of 120
vote over his first try in the College
Union. Another circle turn was re-
corded by Pelps in the upperclass-
men girl's dorms Gariitt, Fleming,
and Jaivis who fought hard for Den-
nis and his upperclasmen's privi-
lege plank in the first election but
who dropped the leading opponent il
the second vote.
Fre iiimen Voters
L nis, however, also broke an old
?stablished hearsay that freshmen
are easier to change than upperciass-
lik'ii by holding strong to hi6 big
aargin of supporters in the fresv
.i.en women's Cotten Dorm. Along
with the 115 votes that he took in
the first election, Dennis added an
additional 8 votes in this dorm to
show his only added strength over
the first ballot and capture a dorm
all for his own.
With the exception of the freshmen
dorm and Wilson Hall which he con-
ceded to Dennis, Phelps gained con-
siderable ground in every other wo-
men's dorm. In the first election,
Dennis carried a leading block in
all of these dorms which voted pre-
cinct-style both times, but as the se-
cond ballot proved, he lost them to
the winning candidate in the runoff.
Breakdown
A grass roots breakdown of the
first vote and the runoff ballot showed
that Phelps gained 120 votes in the
College Union with a final score of
425 to 174. In the women's dorms he
gained 29 votes in Fleming with a
inal vote of 87 to 48, 23 in Jarvis
vith a vote ef 55 to 52, 24 in Rags-
dale with a vote of 79 to 41, 13 in
Wilson with a vote of 47 to 56, 10 in
Garrett with a vote of 86 to 39, and
11 in Cotten with a vote of 100 to 107.
Phelps Comments
Phe'ps who has been active in the
student legislature for the past sev-
eral years .stated that he was "speech-
less" and that East Carolina could
"expect a bigger and better student
government with the continued sup-
port that was shown in the presi-
dential election
Commenting on his defeat, Dennis
who ought hard for the top post
aid, "I could not have lost to a
more qualified person" and that he
'would continue to work with Jimmy
for a stronger student government
association
All other SGA officers were elected
.n a first ballot last week, but Phelps
who received only 19 votes more
than his leading contender had to
fight another round in order to take
the presidency .

First Passion Play
Rehearsals Scheduled
Former members of the Passion

Greenville church choirs, as well
a. interested singers, are cor-
dially invited to attend the first
rehear .il of the Passion Play cho-

Monday and Tuesday following,
April 14 and 15. The schedule of
rehearsals and performances are

Never, never trust a woman.
What motivated the residents along Coed Row to do a
complete about face in Tuesday's runoff and swing their support
for Phelps? That's a $64,000 question.
Some observers point to a statement which Dennis issued
to the East Carolinian last week which undoubtedly, as one per-
son put it, "hit the wrong spot
Others will tell you that coeds in favor of Phelps' social
fraternity policies staged an impressive red-hot campaign in the
omen dormitories over the weekend after Dennis carried four
out cf six in last Thursday's election.
President Dock Smith, who will hand his gavel over to
Phelps next week, declined to comment on the outcome of the
election.
Smith, as well as other Jones supporters, admits that
Jones' poor showing in last Thursday's election came as quite a
shock. They were anticipating a runoff between Phelps and
their candidate. The SGA president expressed the belief, how-
ever, that Freddy James would have won the presidency had he
opposed Phelps.
James, who planned to run and then changed his mind,
has told a YMCA official he will devote more time to that or-
ganization next year.
Will Phelps really appoint Dennis chairman cf an impor-
tant SGA standing committee as he has reportedly promised,
thus assuring him a seat on next year's legislature? That's an-
other $64,000 question. See NOTES, page 4

Problem For S6A
Several weeks ago the residents of Slay
and Umstead were complaining that the jani-
torial services in these dorms were becoming
lax.
At this time, the East Carolinian investi-
gated the situation and found that there was
a general misunderstanding concerning the
specific duties of the janitors.
In a bulletin distributed in these dormi-
tories, thj following duties of the janitors
concerning the individual rooms were enu-
merated :
1. The janitors are to sweep the rooms
anil keep the water basins clean.
2. The janitors are to make up the beds
and replace the linen when the dirty linen is
removed and clean ones are placed on the foot
of the beds.
It was als i pointed out that the boys were
expected to cooperate with the janitors in keep-
ing shots and such items off the flo rs and re-
in ving clothing from the beds. In addition.
janit r are not expected to return to clean a
room when they find boys in the bed when
they call by the first time.
This bulletin certainly clarified the duties
of the janitors and the cooperation expected
from the mah' residents, but there are still
complaints from the bays about the cleaning
service in the dorms.
Many of the male residents, a hall pro-
ctor, and a d rm president stated this week
that the men are not receiving the service
that is intended for these dorms. Several resi-
dents stated that the floor sweeping system
was a " nce-over down the middle of the
r om that the lavatories were seldom cleaned
and that the bathrooms were not properly
kept. This seems to be the general opinion of
a great many f the boys living in these dorm-
itories
The East Carolinian is not sure whether
or not this .situation exists, but there are com-
plaints which should be investigated. If such
a situation does exist, we are n t sure of the
cause. Maybe there are not enough janitors
to keep up with the work or maybe the resi-
dents of these dorms do not cooperate with
the janitors.
Whatever the case may be. undoubtedly
the problem exists in some extent and some-
thing should be (lone to alleviate it. It is a
pr blem that the SCA should investigate.
Reader Says
Letter Ruins Sunday
To the editor.
1 have just received a clipping of your
column in the East Carolinian of Wednesday.
March 6. re the now famous (infamous?)
McMahan letter. Please accept my congrat-
ulations for a fine article, and mv thanks as
well.
That letter ruined my Sunday. It took the
rest of the day to try to frame a letter to the
News and Observer in reply?and keep it down
to 300 words. (Perhaps you saw it in February
28th's edition.) I've never seen so many angry
teachers as I found at school Monday morning;
nor have I known so many parents to call tea-
chers up to express their support and appre-
ciation. Perhaps Mrs. McMahan did us a sort
of left-handed favor. I'm sure it was unin-
tentional.
Mrs. McMahan is neither Carroll's niece
nor Hodges' sister. But I have found out who
she is. Her husband is a civilian working at
Ft. Bragg?thirty working days off with pay
a year, plus sick leave. And as the husband of
one of our teachers, a civilian in the same of-
fice, says: "if he's going to work at black dark
and getting home likewise, he's going some-
place else between home and Bragg. I under-
stand the poor guy has been getting quite a
ribbing out there this past week about his

I now- have a definition for the word
"cha s Chaos is a mild form of the term nec-
essary to describe what would happen here in
Cumberland County if our 218 married tea-
chers agreed with Mrs. McMahan and we 38

to add their 7400 students to our own 1300.

Does The East
Carolinian Have
Freedom Of Press?
One of tne greatest pleasure the
numbers of the East Carolinian staff
i c(?, ive is to observe the general ex-
citement among the students when
the paper comes out.
But as I become more and more ac-
quainted with various individuals
here, I discover there also seems to
lie a general dissatisfaction among
them.
It wouldn't disturb me unless the
students who expressed these com-
plaints appear to be fairly repre-
sentative. Most of the apparent dii-
'ike appears to be a hangover from
some things that happened down here
last year. Since I transferred here
from another school, I was somewhat
alarmed over the expression of dis-
lontt.itment with the East Carolinian.
I got my first and most lasting im-
pression of the East Carolinian by
working on it and observing the pro-
cess of putting it out. I was immense-
ly satisfied with the organization and
the quality of the paper. I still am.
The two most specific criticisms
t at have floated up to the top floor
of Wright are that the East Caro-
linian is administration-controlled
and it isn't a "free" newspaper.
1 am not certain what they mean
when they say we are administration
controlled. I imagine they believe
that some member of the admini-
stration dictates to the policy of the
newspaper.
Such a statement could be readily
cheeked with the administrative of-
licials. I am quite sure they wouldn't
agrt e with it.
1 transferred from a school and
worked on a student newspaper
winch operated on a system like that.
1 left that school and came down here
fur just that reason. To say that this
complaint is untrue would be a gross
understatement. If it were, I would
quit tomorrow.
1 am really at a loss when readers
say they want a "free" newspaper.
Such a vague remark could be inter-
preted to mean a lot of things. I can
assure you that no one here i co-
erced or intimidated. No one censors
our paper. The opinions of the editors
are their own and they are students.
If anyone writes a letter that is
fairly decent, in good English and
good taste, it will definitely be print-
ed.

Perhaps they mean they would like
'or the editors to be elected by a
student vote. It is my opinion that
under such a system, the East Caro-
linian would go to the dogs and fat.
We receive a lot of newspapers
from colleges all over the country
and a lot of them are pretty rotten
because of .such a system. It might
work all right for a few years, but
eventually a meathead would get
elected and the results would be mis-
erable.
This will probably be taken as a slur
on the intelligence of the voter. I'm
not saying that students do not have
the ability to elect capable student
leaders, but I am saying that the
editor of a weekly newspaper is dif-
ferent from an ordinary SGA officer
in the respect that he must have a
vast amount of technical knowledge.
Students rarely take this into consi-
deration when voting, rather they
choose the man with the most glit-
tering editorial policy.
Well, you say, the system works
all right up at Chapel Hill. But it is
unfair to compare a weekly with a
daily, in the first place, and further-
more the University has a school of
journalism and enough students who
are willing to work to insure a good
newspaper.

you get right down to it,

can forbid the entire Amer-
is from reporting anything;
from Red China, don't you suppose
they'll have the press print what they
dictate and only what they dictate?
concerning Eisenhower's health? So
what do we get when we pick up a
newspaper and see the medical de-
taiiii of Ike's latest sour belly? Prop-
aganda.
The comical thing about it is that
the administration evidently likes
t, at kind of propaganda. Every chance
they tfet, they turn out reams and
reams of copy about it.
You would think that an admin-
istration would try to hush up the fact
that they have intrusted the country
in the hands of a sick man, hut evi-
dently it works in reverse. After all,
the gullible American people elected
him in that harried condition and I
guess the administration intends to
stick to good thin when they find
it.

The first requisite for any newspa-
per anywhere is to print the news. To
present it without fear, without pre-
judice, and without favor. To present it
iii good Knglish and in good taste.
Secondly, it should give editorial
opinions in their proper place. A stu-
dent newspaper should be on an in-
tellectual level with the majority of
its students, at the same time, it should
be one jump ahead of them.
It should present feature.s and
stories that are readable and interest-
ing. It should never indulge in such
obviously childish features as, the
'Who's dating whom or "Couple of
the Month sort of thing.
The purpose of a student newspaper
is not to carry on an undeclared war
k ilk the college administration. At the
?airie time, it should never let the ad-
ministration interfere with student
opinions or the reporting of actual
happenings of significance around
campus.
A true student newspaper should be
operated by students and published
for them. It should meet all the re-
quirements and dictates of good jour-
nalism.
The establishment of East Caro-
lina Teachers Training School fifty
years ago epitomised the hopes of
North Carolina's educators. The in-
stitution came into being for the pur-
pose of preparing those who aspired
to t e teaching profession, for the
trainin ? of the moulders of the state's
future. In the man who was to head
that venture, the qualities of courage,
devotion to purpose and indefatigable
enthus.ia.sm were essential. Perfectly
fitted to those standards was Robert
Herring Wright.
Robert H. Wright was born May
21, TcSTO. in Sampson County. His
early years were spent in the harrow-
in period of reconstruction, learning
t perform the duties o.f planting,
ten.ling and harvesting the crops upon
which the Wrights depended for a
livelihood. He attended schools which
operated only five or six months of
the year: such a system left much
to individual initiative in the process
of learning. At the age of 18, 1 e ap-
plied for and was awarded a teacher's
certificate. For the following two
years he taught at a small school in
the "Hungry Neck" section of Fen-
der and Bladen Counties.
In this light, the East Carolinian
fil's the hill. It is a student newspaper.
ami, I feel, it is a good one.
T feel, from a journalistic stand-
point, it is the best weekly paper in
thL state and by far the best with
which we exchange. The Columbia
Scholastic Press Association gives it
a first-place rating every year and
many former staff members have ex-
cellent positions on newspapers
throughout the country.
Of course, it has room for improve-
ment. The staff members are constant-
ly working to improve the East Caro-
linian and we feel that it is getting
better over the years and over the
weeks.
The people who criticize are either
greatly misinformed or habitual
gripers. Those who feel that the East
Carolinian isn't up to par should let
us hear from him. If it is a legitimate
complaint, I am certain that it will be
valued.
President Wright . . . East Carolina's
first.
Interested In Education
In 1890 Robert Wright entered
Oak Ridge Institute, where his in-
terest in the future of education was
quickene i. There he was known as a
serious-minded student and an avid
ollower of athletics. On leaving Oak
Ridge he was given a teaching posi-
tion in South 'Carolina, where he
stayed until 1894, when he entered
the University of North Carolina. At
Chapel Hill he was an outstanding
linesman on the football team as well
as president of the Philosophical So-
ciety, the Historical Society and a
member of t e Shakespeare Club.
Graduating in 1897 with the A. B.
Degree, he became Principal of Stan-
hope High School and later an in-
structor at Oak Ridge.
In 1901 Robert Wright married
Charlotte Pearl Murphy, and spent
the next two year.s at Johns Hopkins
University. He "soon became Head of
the Department of Social Sciences
at Baltimore City College, and served
in the Baltimore school system until
1909, when ? became Bast Carolina's
firs president. As gtteh, he was a
source of guidance and inspiration
to students and faculty alike, and
was highly esteemed by both.
Holds Offices
He served as president until his
death in 1934; during that quarter of
a century be worked continuously to
improve the status of education
throughout the state. He became vice-
president and later president of the
North Carolina Teachers Assembly,
chairman of the State Educational
Commission and president of the
Ameritan Association of Teachers
Colleges. He watched the tiny school
of a hundred seventy-five students
grow to a college of more than a
thousand, and instituted such inno-
vations a.s a Student Government
Association to facilitate its growth
and development.
The sudden death of Robert Herring
Wright on April 25, 1934, was mourned
throughout the state as a tremendous
loss to the people and to public edu-
cation in North Carolina. Dr. Frank
Graham said of Robert Wright's life:
"It is the story of East Carolina on
the march. It is the story of a leader

ECC athletic department was in op-
eration.
It was quite a task to keep up
with the developments from the ath-
letic department but it was also in-
teresting to note the rapid growth of
the EOC sports. Probably few would
have ; redicted the rise of the Purple
and Gold about 10 years ago when
EDC was .struggling to become a mem-
ber of the North State loop. Since
that time the Pirates have become
an annual threat and have great po-
tentials of advancing into new heights.
Swimmers in Spotlight
Coach Ray Martinez has probably
made the greatest progress with his
swimming team during the past three
years. The swim tutor was brought
to East Carolina mainly to build up
the water sport, and that he has done
in only a short : eriod of time. After
a winless season in the initial year,
ECC had a 9-4 mark in 1955-56 and
then established a 7-3-1 this season
against the souths best. The Buc
Mermen defeated Southern Confer-
ence champion, Virginia Tech; tied
Southeastern titlist, University of
Georgia; but bowed twice to the Uni-
versity of North Carolina, Atlantic
Coast champs and one of the top
teams in the nation.
The Bucs went seeking national
honors this past week when they
journeyed to Carbondale, 111. to com-
pete in the first NAIA swim meet.
ECC was rated as favorites, and fin-
ished first, copping the national title
over a huge field of entries.
Other Sports Active
Football mentor Jack Boone and
cage master Howard Porter have
had their respective clubs in action
during the past weeks, with hopes
of improving for the future. Both had
mediocre seasons during the past
year.
Boone has been hard at work this
winter and spring in preparations
for the 1957 season which will present
the ECC gridiron sport with its tough-
est schedule yet. After observing win-
ter practice, the Bucs may come up
with some surprises next fall. The
spirit and desire seems better and as

1 cycle duo to the fact that it could go the student teachers mui
of The Teco Echo which Dr. Lucille
Turner, head of the English depart-
ment, had on file reveals what stu-
dents here thought about when East
Carolina was only twenty years old.
Although all of the stories were
fictitious, ma?iy of the "wild ideas'
of these students have come true
through the years. One story related
that a person who wished to remain
anonymous had donated $10,000 to
President Robert H. Wright for per-
manent improvements at the college.
Students dreamed of having a swim-
ming pool, tennis courts, baseball
diamonds, golf links, a drug store,
and a so.ia shop which would sell on
the credit basis. Like us they seemed
to have a parking problem. To remedy
this they were to build 500 "asart-
ments" for cars so that the students'
Fords would not have to be left in
the ram. A street car line to operate
all over the campus free of charge
was also advocated.
Eat 212 Hot Dogs
To settle the disputed presidency
of the S. G. A. a hot dog contest
took place between two candidates.
They ate only 212! Since neither ate
enough to win they were required
to have an Octagon Soap eating con-
test as soon as the, got out of the
infirmary. Another candidate with-
drew after followers of her two rival-
down Dickinson Avenue with more
ease an ! safety than a car.
A young man who was walking
across campus was attacked by a
flapper (later found by a faculty
member) who knocked down her vic-
tim with a toothpick and rubbed
o its on his face to suffocate him
, she took his money. She lost
her gold toot!) in the fight.
A student was working so hard on
hei term i.aper that before she rea-
lized it. it was 1 o'clock and she was
all alone. Suddenly she heard a noise.
S!discovered that three men were
trying to steal a very valuable book,
What is English? by Ward. She
tightened them -so badly that they
,hupped the book and ran.
Practice Teaching Stopped
It was officially declared at a re-
cent joint meeting of the board of
trustees and the faculty that practice
teac ing would be removed from
curriculum since it hindered the
college from keeping up the standards
to the standards of yesterdays in the
length of dresses and use of cosmetics.
That too many flirtations are arising
between the student teachers and the
upils while the critic teachers must
be only on-looker.s and not participants
was another reason given.
Faculty Wedding
A wedding was described which
joined in matrimony an old teacher
and the young Mr. Beecher Flanagan.
Mr. Hubert C. Haynes (now Dr.
Haynes of the psychology dept.) and
Mis 'Mamie E. Jenkins rendered
olos. Miss Maria D. Graham was
bridesmaid. She entered with Mr.

June 6. They must be qualified high
school graduates who have never been
employed in a dental office. At the
present time, it is planned that the

of four or five years, depending on
the availability of federal funds.
Additional girls will be selected
for the program each year. Each
student will complete the training
program in one year.

T v training program will consist
of two parts. The first part of the
program will be three months of
lectures, laboratory procedures, and
demonstrations, with limited clinical
work.

ing period, the original class will be
split into two groups. Half of these
girls will remain at the School of
Dentistry for an additional nine
months. They will continue to re-
ceive their salary while getting 'on-
ffiie-job" training by working with
dental students in the School of Dent-
istry Clinic. ,
The other 50 per cent of the original
group who begin the training pro-
gram this summer will be assisted
in finding suitable emploment in a
dentists office at the end of their

?raining, both groups of students will
