Administration Asks Minor
Changes In IFC Constitution
By BRYAN HARRISON
The Intertraternity Council's cons-
titution has met with the approval
jf the a (ministration.
President Messick released a state-
ment Wednesday that "except for
minor changes, the administration
thinks it (the constitution) i quite
acceptable
In a constitution which will de-
ermine the rushing, bidding, and
pledging of the member fraterni-
ties, the minor changes would be
the pointment of the Dean of Men
as an i x-officio member of the council
in t ,e place of a faculty committee,
and an added requirement that only
d quarter freshmen may bid.
President Messick said. "As a whole
the constitution Ls good. It gives the
.student plenty of freedom?under
supervised direction
The constitution which was sub-
mitted to the administration by mem-
bers of the council, Mac Lancaster
and Mike Katsias, was reviewed by
Dean Jenkins and Dean Tucker, as.
well as President Messick.
Frats
The council is composed of four
oeial fraternities and has already
been set up under the constitution.
The fraternities on the newly-formed
council are Delta Sigma Rho, Kappa
Sigma N'u, .Phi Kapi a Alpha, and
Sigma Rho Phi,
The major provisions in the con-
stitution include a system of deter-
mining the manner of rushing and
pledging which the member frater-
nities will follow. It also determines
the eligibility of a pledgee to bid.
Under the submitted constitution,
the council would be advised by a
faculty committee which would be
appointed by the President of the
College. The council could ask the
committee to resign and the presi-
dent would appoint another commit-
tee. The administration ruled that
the Dean of Men be appointed to serve
in this capacity and serve aa an ex-
officio member.
Another minor change requested
by the administration was that a
clause be added whereby the pledgees
would have to have a minimum of
thirty quarter hours and an average
of "three Under the original form,
it merely stated that a freshman must
have a "three" average.
Officers
After making the necessary
changes, the council will meet and
elect officers. Under the constitution,
there will be three delegates from
each of the member fraternities,
one of them being the fraternity pres-
ident. The presidents will not have
voting power.
When the council officers are
elected, the fraternities will choose
new delegates to fill the vacancies
left by the new council officers. The
first interfraternity council will be
composed of twelve members.
Further membership will be open
;o any social fraternity recognized
,y the administration. The council
will govern the actions and proced-
ures of the member fraternities and
decide on matters in keeping with the
policy set up by the constitution.

Light Voting
Dominates Scene
By OLIVER WILLIAMS
No opposition and no voting domi-
nated the political activity in the
senior class election yesterday.
With just one candidate seekinp
each office except the vice-presi-
dency, only 105 juniors turned out to
determine who will lead the senior
class next year.
Ted Gartman, the present vice-
?iresident of the class, was unopposed

vho wa? elected secretary; newiy-
dectt.l treasurer. Marcia Forbes; and
he new SGA representative, Ann

Vice-Presidency
The only opposition in the whole
election centered around the vice-
presidency with A. C. Hinton and
Bobby Conway seeking the office.
Hinton took the race with a three
vote lead with a final score of 54
to 51.
Gartman has served as vice-presi-
dent of the junior clas9 this year and
Ls a member of the N. A. I. A. champ-

Tickets Must Be Secured
For Annual Spring Musical
Students will have to secure ad-
vance tickets in order to see the spring
musical, "Connecticut Yankee
According to the Productions Com-
mittee of the SGA production, stu-
dents may secure a ticket which will
e good for only one performance
and will not be allowed to purchase
tickets after April 30.
To secure a ticket, students must
present their I. D. cards to Miss Men-
denhall or to the person on duty in
the College Union. Tickets will be on
sale beginning April 24 until noon on
April 30, between the hours of 9
a. m. and 5 p. m. There will be 650
student tickets available for each
night. Tickets not claimed by stu-
dents prior to noon, April 30 will be
sold to the general public at the
box office.
Guest Tickets
Students who wish to bring guests
that are not affiliated with the col-
lege may purchase tickets for them
at the regular price of one dollar.
Standing room tickets will be avail-
able at the door after all general
admission tickets are sold each even-
ing.
Rehearsals for the annual spring
roduction are progressing rapidly,
according to directors, Dr. K. N.
. uthbert and Dr. Elizabeth Utterback,
and modern, medieval costumes have
been ordered which should blend ef-
fectively with the scenery that is
being planned.
The story of "Connecticut Yankee"
is built around a single character,
Martin which is played by George
Knight. He is engaged to Faye,
played by Barbara Harris, and be-
comes engaged in a squabble in-
volving his real love Alice, played
by Dottie Jo James. During the squab-
ble, Martin is hit on the head and
suddenly finds himself uprooted from
the present and transported back to
the year 557 AD when King Arthur
and the Knights of the Round Table
reigned.
Hit tunes of the show are "My
Heart Stood Still and "Thou Swell,
Thou Witty
The need to sell advance tickets
to this production arose because of
the situation created last year when
overflow crowds swelled McGinnis to

Plans To Deliver
Papers To Each
dormitory Room
?Tan iRaby will be the next editor
of 'he East Carolinian.
The Board of .Publications, which
asked the candidates last week to
evpress their opinions concerning a
ln whereby they would divide du-
ties as editor, reversed their decision
Wednesday wven Miss Raby informed
jthem that she didn't believe the sys-
tem would work and asked that they
make one choice.
Publications Board members origi-
nally asked that Oliver Williams edit
the paper for the first half of the
yesr and that Miss Raby take over
auring the middle of winter quarter.
The majority of the board felt that
oh w ve qualified for the position
and that a division of duties was the
only possible solution, if the candi-
dates would approve the plan.
Raby Disagrees
Jan Raby said last week that it
was not that she didn't want to work
with Oliver Williams but said her
whole purpose for returning to Ea3t
Carolina would be "to serve as editor
of the parer without interruption
It was her opinion that this would
be "in the best interest for all con-
cerned
Williams accepted the board's de-
cision, explaining that it would enable
both to work on the paper and that
Miss Raby could serve as editor while
he did his student teaching.
"Deeply Honored"
The newly-elected editor expressed
her a-preciation to the board and ex-
plained, "I am deeply honored by th(
decision of the Publications Board in
electing me editor of the East Caro-
linian for the year 1957-58. I realize
the decision was a hard one. I shall

Umstead Parking Lot

trouble for men residents.
A Parking Problem
Finally, plans are being made to pave
ami mark off the parking area beside Um-
stead Dormitory. According to administration
officials, money that has been taken for traf-
fic violations will be used for this purpose.
This action will not be premature. Since
the dorm was constructed several years ago,
the parking area reserved for its residents
has not served the purpose that was intended,
and as a result, the men dormitory residents
have not had sufficient parking space.
If the area were paved and spaces marked
off, the area would serve all of the students
of this dorm. In the past, however, the area
has been a mass confusion. Parked cars often
occupy and block space that should serve two
cars, and many times the whole area is blocked
by a few incorrectly- parked cars.
The situation has not only been annoying
to the men who must use this area, but has al-
so been a problem to the traffic department
and policemen. In many cases traffic tickets
have been given to residents who park their
cars incorrectly. In many of these cases the
students claimed that they parked in the right
area and when they came back to their car
found that it was out of line with the other
cars and blocking the main drives of the whole
parking area.
Besides problems of keeping the cars clear
for entrance and keeping the exits open, in
rainy weather the area becomes very muddy
and is undesirable for parking.
Paving the area and marking off definite
parks would not only improve the area, but
would also increase the facilities since it has
been estimated that twenty-five per cent more
cars could park there under organized con-
ditions.
We hope that the money that has been
taken in from traffic violations this year will
be used to improve the parking situation.
It seems that the other residents, faculty,
and day students have adequate facilities, so
it is logical that this money should be spent on
facilities for men, who, incidentally, have the
greater nimber of cars on the campus.
Because of these situations, we hope that
improvements on the Umstead parking lot will
begin in the near future, and that these resi-
dents will find better parking facilities awaiting
them in the fall next year.

A Challenge To
The Writers Of
Southern Fiction
(From an address by Mr. Ovid
Pierce at the North Carolina Lit-
erary Forum in Raleijrh on April
n
Where, then is the limit of the
I -tonal possibilities of eastern North
Carolina? Must it not be said of this
re ion. rs of all others, that though
; of its images contradicts another,
tact) is true? Actually, could one
say of any section that its possibili-
ties lie especially here, especially
there, without postulating a perm-
anency, a constancy of scene as well
? of mind?
There are surface things that we
can say, but they speak of the sur-
face only.
Here is a land of small towns
caught in the webs of roads that
reach into open country around.
Here are towns crowded with
Negroes on Saturday. Here, too,
are areas in isolation, where ties
exf nd not laterally but back and
back. Here is the potentially
dramatic conflict of the white
man and Negro walking the same
street, plowing acres adjoining
?often so near and yet so far,
as though each must discover
again and again with every day's
un what is always strange.
Here is the rural land of tobacco,
where out in the woods, within smell
of a cedar, tilts an old tobacco barn.
Windowless, closed to the world like
a secret old fort?(forgotten in weeds
until the curing of another fall.
And. here, going to town, a de-
serted baseball diamond separate
field of corn. Weeds have claimed
it again, showing only runners' tracks
between bases and the pitcher's
mound. An old backstop?framed
chicken wire?leans forward, a lone
4gn against the sky.
And, there, across the way,
shines the cotton gin, its tin a
glare in the sun, since Septem-
ber now a whirl of lint and flying
dust, of voices shouting against
the roar, of handkerchief-covered
faces in the loaded air. of strag-
gling lines of trucks and wagons
bearing loads closer and closer
to the great suction hose that
reaches over and melts the piles,
snatches all in its wind?cotton
?lost gloves?and voices of farm-
ers standing by.
And, finally, and perhaps supreme-
ly, here is a landscape presided over
by the past?where travelers see
twin monuments of chimneys stand-
ing in abandoned groves, where fields
are forever waiting for winter to
claim them again.
Here, then are all these things, and
here are many more?for there is
really no end, nor should be. So, one
must offer these signs and then deny
them, for they have said so little
indeed.
Isn't this only to suggest that a
land is forever fleeting, and tat the
pursuit .j all?
A region is all things. Our
chiefest task is to see. Perhaps,
for the artist no more than an
abandoned tobacco farm is needed
to tell of all men's heart's, de-
sire.
So, then, we are to d ly no man
the Tightness of his vu t, "n
though no other person in the
world will agree that it is some-
thing of this earth. But what?
Hut wTfat we can ask is that the
vision, however strange, be truly his,
that it represent the writer's view
in loneliness ? unclouded, uncom-
promis'ed.
The public does not betray a writer.
It Is the writer who betrays himself.
It is that part of his vision that
isn't his which desert.s him, and
leaves hollowness instead. It i. the
impurity always that goes first, that
i.s vulnerable?the borrowed, the dis-
honest destroy.
So what, then, is a writer's task
in assessing the .place of his birth?
To try, in so far as he is able,
to know the difference between
his own vision and that of others,
? ho have written of his land. For
such is the power of fiction that
the created illusion can achieve
the durability and solidity which
the elusive, fleeting, external
world never has. It is a truism
that the world of the book is
more real than life at oar door.
In fact, it is a phenomenon of
pictorial art that the created
image of the subject is often
confused with the subject itself.
There is even an extension of this:
A section, a people, respond to myth
created about them and do in fact
trive to fit the legend which they
t tmselvea have inspired.
No wonder it is difficult for the
writer to know what is really his.
When the strength of the legend, the
commanding reality of the image, is
always there to stand between him
and the thing itself. It is always

Says More Power To Pianist
Someone gets a bang out of sing-
ing and playing t e piano. He makes
music every day in the college union.
In case you are wondering who he
is, his name s Emmet Mays and he
transferred to East Carolina from
Campbell College this spring.
Emmet has aroused much specula-
tion on campus for he plays as loud
as that beat-up box can play and he
sings with equal ferocity. He i.s so
lou i thai I can hear him from the
top floor of Wright.
Emmet doesn't care who hears him,
for h- loves to sing and play, regard-
less of audience. But he usually has
a large audience and they delight
when he plays big two favorites,
?Tuitoe Fruitee and "Dixie
He plays a combination of boogie
woogie. rock 'n roll, and Dixieland
jazz. He says he never played pro-
fessionally, unless you want to call a
few tavern jobs professional.
He says the only reason he plays
is to relieve the monotony. He ex-
plains that an athlete likes to shoot
basketball once in awhile to offset
tern-ion. So why can't he play the
piano?
He can. If he wanU to sing and
play the piano, let him. And more
ower to him.
I trust that everyone has een the
two movies which played this week-
end, -Giant" and "Love Me Tender
I saw Giant and thought it was
an excellent distortion of Texas. Ac-
tually, Texas was merely the fall
guy for a bitter propaganda cam-
paign aimed at the whole South. It
was an hour and a half picture with
two hours of racial intolerence thrown
in.
Not onlj was it an implausible pre-
sentatkm, but the whole thing seeped
with sentimentality. Jimmy Dean's
humorous and sii;erb portrayal of a
country hick was all that saved the
ii from becoming a complete flop.
1 didn't go to see "lA)ve Me Tender"
i-veil though they were showing
it for free over in Austin. I have
deep reapect for the Civil War period
of history and i could hardly afford
to 1 t Elvis ruin it for me.
It was, I understand, an amazingly
humorous anachronism. Elvis swing-
ing his hip back in 1865. It was a
wonder he didn't call General Sher-
man a hound dog.

SIAL CURRENTS
Judging from the large crowd and 1:
a great many students evidently saw the
movie "Giant" last week end. I would
attempt to point out the good things in the
picture, but one factor?maybe an insigni-
ficant i ne ?which continually ignored me
through the entire picture was the "fake"
Southern accents. Never have I been -

What i.s t:L madness, tree glee?
Joyce Kilmer says that only God
can make a tree. 1 think he's right.
The birth of the tree is recorded in
Genesis. Besides every tree that was
pleasant to the sight and good for
food, God also created a tree of know-
ledge of good and evil and a tree of
life, the one with the promise of
death and the other with the promise
o. everlasting life.
Since the days of the Garden of
Eden the tree has come a long way.
Today the sylvan ranks include money
trees, family trees, banana trees,
Christmas trees, ana Jim's Treetop
Serenade.

hard to write in the shadow of a
mountain hieh a Faulknex made.
But does this not suggest the
responsibility from which the
writer cannot escape? In fact, it
is the refusal of this responsi-
bility, I'd like to suggest, which
has done so much to perpetuate
the confused myth of the South.
Must we forever be known to
the rest of the world in caricature
and cliche, not only in the novel,
but in the theatre and on the
screen? Are the sumbols of the
Southern mind, the Southern scene
so fixed, so irrevocably realized
that young writers must be bur-
dened with them, be defeated by
them even before they start?
Of all the regional writing which
this country has produced none has
so flourished, as has that of the
South, on the preconceived, or the
knowledge of what it is expected to
give.
(To be concluded.)
There is a legend of the dogwood
tree:
At the time of the Crucifixion of
Jesus Christ the dogwood had been
the size of the oak and other forest
trees. So firm and strong was the
tree that it was chosen as the timber
for the cross. To be used for such a
cruel purpose greatly distressed the
tree. Jesus, nailed upon it, sensed
this and in His gentle pity for all
sorrow and suffering decreed that
never again should the dogwood tree
grow large enough to be used as a
cross.
Ever since the dogwood has grown
slender, bent, and twisted and its
blossoms have formed in the sQaPe of
a cross?two long and two short
petals. In the center of the outer edge
of each petal are the nail prints,
brown with rust and stained with
red. In the center of the flower
i.s the crown of thorns.
All those who see it will remember.
Wonder what grew out that way
before Johnny Appleseed went on
his tree spree?
Spring Is Really With Us
And A Cultural Revolution
Heard another story, years ago:
In the primeval forest stood three
fine fir trees, each with a noble tree
plea?to do something great in the
world. The first wished to be a plank
in the floor of a palace of a King.
The second desired to be a plank in a
great .?hip that sailed the oceans.
The third wanted to be part of a light-
house stan.iing high on a hill and
guiding ships and people to safety.
This i.s how their dreams came
true. The first became a plank in the
manger that cradled the King in the
stable outside Bethlehem. The second
became a plank in a little boat on
the Sea of Galilee that carried Jesus
to his preaching, teaching, and -rest-
ing. The third became the crossbeam
m the cross upon which the Light of
ihe Work) was crucified.
And that i the legend of the fir
tree.
By JAX RABY
It was interesting to note last week in
Dr. Messick's address to the student
ture a challenge to promote a cultural i
lution here. Culture is a word that has fright-
ening connctations for some people around
here. Perhaps a definition by Mary P. Poole
would make them feel better about it. She
says, "Culture is what your butcher would
have if he were a surgeon
Spring is really with us and the sun
courts of the girls' dorms are now the social
centers. I. K. Williamson who has a
view from the annual office can testify to
th;t. The Garrett girls were really happy
to get their fence and permission to use
their backyard.
Woodman, spare that tree.
There's many an acorn falls to
die for one that makes a tree. But
Nebraska didn't give up on that.
They've tried long enough and hard
enough to have acquired the nick-
name, Tree Planters State.
Readers' Comment
l like trees, you know.
And I agree with Ogden Nash:
"I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
H never see a tree at all
My tree jubilee ends with that one.
I read Mr. Ovid Pierce's book. The
Plantation, over the week-end. Mrs. Bar-
rett, Dr. Messick's secretary, loaned me
her copy and said that she thoroughly
enjoyed reading it. I would like to com-
pliment him on his characterization.
Since we have no lost and found col-
umn, I have promised to include the fol-
lowing: Found at the restaurant, Seleebys,

Error Not His
To the editor:
I am writing this letter to clarify
an article which was in the April 2
issue of The Daily Tar Heel, which
is the student publication at the
University of North Carolina.
It seems that a personal corres-
pondence which was sent to an ac-
quaintance of mine, Bob Young, who
is president of the student body at
UNC, was read to the Student Leg-
islature of this institution, and as a
result, acknowledgement of same ap-
peared in the student newspaper. It
also seems that through an error on
the part of a reporter of The Daily
Tar Heel, I was acknowledged as
President of the SGA of East Carolina
College.
I would like to offer my apologies
for this error on the part of said re-
porter and for any ill feeling which
might have ensued as a result of this
error.
May I state that I am not apolo-
gizing for the correspondence as such,
as no mention or claim was made
pertaining to the presidency of the
SGA.
Sincerely
Eddie Dennis
From Archibald Ruiiedge, Poet Laureate
of South Carolina:
"The people in this life who really
break our hearts are not those who hate us.
but those who care?but not much; never
to the point of uoing anything. This person
who cares for you, but not enough to do
hand's tun. for you, is really a tragic figure;
for he has not learned that self-sacrifice ?
not only the nobleat gift, but perhaps tbj
only gift, to lay upon the high altar of love.
And do you remember this??
"I expect to pass through this world
but once. Any good theretfore itihat
can do, or any kindness that I can show w
any fellow creature, let me do it now. U
me not defer or neglect it for I shall n
pass this way again?An)onyiriou?.

that the high .school kids who would
have gone to the game might not
have understood why Coach Jim Mal-
ory hi.d to get out on the field before

paths and rake of; the mound.
This same complaint was brought
op by some students, here, last year
ami was aired in this column. Yet,
nothing was done about it. Perhaps
theft just aren't enough yard men or
round keepers, or whatever they're
1 id. to go around. Still, it doesn't
ook particularly good when a school's
as;ball coach has to get out and
ime .?nd drag the field before a ball-
game.
' 'd like to offer a suggestion: On
the day of all home baseball games,
why not have two or three of the
?olored men who are hired to mow
ECC's lawns and trim ECC's trees
report to the diamond to ready the
ield for action ?
I'm sure it would make a better im-
ression on visitors. And Coach Mal-
ory would probably appreciate it,
-oo. It also might restore a little of
!he dignity that rightfully belongs
o the coaching profession.
After all, it's practically the same
thing as asking all the professors
here to sweep out their rooms, dust

before classes.

I think it might be safe to say that
Martinez has done more to establish

Ann Mayo
Will Study In France During Summer
By JAN RABY
"I still can't believe it
These were the words of Ann Mayo,
21 year old senior from Plymouth
who has been awarded a $6.r0 .scho-
larship for study in France this sum-
mer by the Greenville Branch of the
American Association of University
Women.
T e charming, quiet young blonde
Mtid she had four main reasons when
asked why she had chosen France to
visit. The first was to fulfill a dream
of hers. Also she wishes to improve
her speaking ability of French. Her
third reason is to obtain a more in-
timate knowledge of the French way
of life. Lastly, this would enable her
to become a better teacher of French.
Study Group
"1 will leave from New York about
June 20 by ship and I'm planning to
travel with a study group from
Temple University she said. We
hould arrive in France about June
;() she said. Then what? "I'll go
directly to Paris and spend the days
getting acquainted with the city be-
fore my course at t'e Sorbonne, Uni-
versity of Paris, begins on July 15
She will take courses in French civi-
lization, conversation, and phonetics.
Miss Mayo said she would be in
class every day July 15-August 14
from 9 a. m. to noon. The rest of the
time would be spent touring various
places of interest in and around
Paris. She'll be living at the Cite
I'niversitaire. an international stu-
dent center in Paris. Some of the
Ann Mayo
places she expects to see are: the
Comedie Fnuacake, the Opera, Mal-
maison and in addition, "I plan to
take week-end excursions to the
Loire valley. Mont-St-Michel, and
other places
"After my course at Sorbonne is
finished. 1 will tour France from Lille
to Nice, and from Brest?oh, in other
words, from north to south and from
east to west.
"On September 2. I'll leave by
plane from Brussels, Belgium, for
home; afterwards. I plan to teach
somewhere in North Carolina or
"Virginia
Expresses Thanks
Miss Mayo said that she especially
wanted to express her tr.anks to the
AAUW for the award and that she
was sorry there wasn't enough money
so that all the applicants would have
been able to go. "1 am very grateful
to the Greenville Chapter of the
AAUW foi affording me thi.s won-
derful opportunity to broaden my
education and in turn to become a
etter person and teacher. I consider
it an onor and a privilege to be able
to represent BCC and the AAUW
abroad. This is really the most ex-
citing thing that has ever happened

A French major and minoring in
social studies, she has an outstand-
ing record as a student at BCC. She
i
eceived undergraduate assistantships
to help tach a French 1 class and
a French 3 and 4 class. Last quarter j
she did her student teaching at Farm- I
ille. teaching two classes of high
school French and a ctafe of fourth j
grade French. This quarter she is
helping teach two classes of fourth

Reader Says
Students Should Do Something
About Movie Situation Here
Exams For Overseas Service
To Be Given In Raleigh
The Department of State an-
nounced today that the semiannual
Foreign Service Examination will be
given on June 24, 1957 at more than
65 centers throughout the United
States. One of these centers is Ra-
leigh. This examination is open to
al who meet the age and citizens'?ip
requirements outlined below.
After completing three months of
training at the Foreign Service In-
stitute in Washington, some of the
new officers will talce up duties at
one of the 275 American Embassies.
Legations, and Consulates around the
world. At these posts, which range in
size from the large missions such as
Paris and London to the one-man
posts such as Perth, Australia, the
new officer may expect to do a var-
iety of tasks, including administra-
tive work, political, economic, com-
mercial and labor reporting, consular
duties, and assisting and protecting
Americans and United States prop-
erty abroad. Other new officers will
be assigned to the Department's head-
quarters in Washington, where they
will engage in research or other sub-
stantive work, or in the many admin-
istrative tasks which are essential to
the day-to-day conduct of our foreign
affairs.
To explain fully these opportuni-
ties in the Foreign Service which
await the qualified young men and
women of the United States, Foreign
Service officers will visit a large
number of colleges and universities
this spring. In order to make known
the diversified needs of the Depart-
ment of State and Foreign Service,
these officers will talk not only with
promising students of history, po-
litical science, and international re-
lations, but also with those who are
specializing in economics, foreign
languages, and business and public
administration.
Those successful in the one-day
written examination, which tests the
candidate's facility in English ex-
pression, general ability and back-
ground, as well as his proficiency
in a modern foreign language, will sub-

An Open Letter To the Management
of the Pitt Theatre- .
In the last few weeks a loud, un-
mistakable cry has been expressed
by a growing majority of the stu-
dents of East Carolina regarding
Greenville's lone movie theatre. The
cross-section of students interviewed
are extremely dissatisfied with the
poor lack of interest the management
seems to hold for the college stu-
dents who nightly flow in to watch
the current flick. This is not the
attitude of a few select people try.n
to seek publicity, it is a sincere com-
plaint!
One of the most prominent gripea
is the price charged to college stu-
dents. Many ask the question, "
have they adopted the policy of
charging the same price for the mati-
nee and evening shows?" Others
stress the fact that the management
follow the policy of presenting the
best films during the week days and
saving the beat-up soap operas for
the week-end. Another extreme re-
sentment is the balcony situation.
During the majority of the time, the
balcony of the theatre remains closed
to the viewers. This forces crowded
conditions downstairs and a host of
other related complaints.
Many of our students think that
the employees of the theatre treat the
college Students too lightly. Realize
the fact that they are college men
and women peeking their rigr'fu!
place in society! The list is endless,
bat why bother to use other examples,
ihe points have been made. A stu-
dent body which patronizes your
iheatre is showing a marked tendency
to frown at the existing policy. They
are fickle; it is up to you to satisfy
their wants.
The fiery content of this lettei is
aimed at stirring a reform move-
ment. Talk already persists of a pro-
posed boycott of the theatre for an
undetermined length of time. This
L not idle chatter, it is a real problem
with
it's
which gains more momentum
each new day.
The college viewer behev
time for the management to take a
thorough look at its resent policy
and revise it. This is not a problem
.vh.c cannot be face 'Realize this
fa,t and there is no doubt to the COD-
?lusion ym will iraw. Now, it's oi
the theatre management to show
the stnde.t. of Bast Carolina that
they value the abundant patronage
they represent Think wisely f the
benefit! to be derived from adhering
to some of the criticism that has been
leveled.

Who rates what for performance
and smoother riding in the low-
priced three? Chevrolet has laid
the answer and the proof on
the line!
First, Chevrolet won the Auto
Decathlon over every car in its
field, and over the higher priced
cars that were tested, too. This
rugged ten-way test right, below)
showed Chevrolet was the champ
in handling ease, braking, acceler-
ation, passing ability, smooth-
ness of ride and other driving
qualities you want in a car.
Then, Chevy won the Pure
Oil Performance Trophv at
Daytona (left, below) as "best
performing U. S. automobile
It's quite a feeling to know
that you are driving a car that
performs so well, responds so
beautifully and is so finely built.
You feel proud, of course. But
you also enjoy a surer, smoother,
steadier way of going, a keen
cat-quick response of power, and
the easiest handling you've ever
experienced behind a wheel. Just
try this Chevrolet (V8 or Six)
and see!
