PAGE FOUR - EAST CAftOLtNIAH FRIDAY M.V: ? -? U A Few Suggestions Jimmy Ferrell During the first week of school, Dock G. Smith, SGA President at that time, issued a statement to the East Carolinian in which he said. "I feel that the Student Government As- sociation will have to take some stand on the segregation issue this year Administration opinion was that student solons "can always voice an opinion, but it's very unwise to do it during a General As- sembly legislative year East Carolina students constitute the lea- ders of tomorrow just as those at various Other state-supported institutions where stu- dents hare expressed their opinions on one of tiic ho test issues of the century. It next year's SGA members desire to voice n opinion, and that's all it would be. they should do just that. Tin d Of Talk It's time for the Student Government and administration t (o something concrete con- cerning the establishment of an honor system here, if anything is ever to be accomplished. The East Carolinian is tired of hearing continued talking and no action on bringing an Honor System to this school. Students in- dicated in a poll conducted by the administra- tion that they are in favor of the Honor System and we join these in urging next year's SGA to ke steps to enforce a system or forget it en- tirely. . . An Honor System would be beneficial not , nly to the college, but also to the individual student. It would attract a high quality of stu- dents and weed out those who are dishonorable. It will give the student a sense of responsibi- lity and a feeling of trustworthiness. Negro Entertainrm at Gripes about entertainment continued to bounce an und campus this year. At one time. President Smith introduced amendments, ask- ing that a provision be made in the constitu- tion insuring that a quorum of the Entertain- ment Committee be present before any con- tracts could be signed. Students holding mem- bership on this committee must fulfill their duties to speak for the student body when the time comes to choose the year's entertainment. Student Government officials learned in February that Louis Armstrong wasn't se- cured for an appearance here because Xegroes iust don't entertain at East Carolina. When Mauli Gras time reached UNC, students packed their bags and headed for Chapel Hill and Armstrong's music. We don't advocate an entertainment se- ries which includes Negro entertainers solely. We do feel, however, that when outstanding Negr bands or singers can be secured, steps should certainly lie taken to take advantage of such an opportunity. Solons were topped cold in their tracks lien attempts were made to change the ru- ling. We hope the Phelp's administration and the IFC will work towards bringing some of the outstanding Negro entertainers to East Caro- lina. They an- high on the entertainment list of today's college set. Tickcts And Gripes The campus parking system has been ev- aluated, re-evaluated, and evaluated again, v. hich adds up to the stark conclusion that there just aren't enough parking spaces for the num- ber of cars on campus. And that's the way con- ditions will remain until someone finds space for a couple of new parking lots. Last vear. the parking problem became quite a hJadache. And the campus cops con- tinue to insert tickets under windshield wip- ers and students continue to gripe. With the cooperation of all the students. faculty, and staff plus the assistance of a full- time parking and housing director, it seems that East Carolina has made for a more uni- fied program which has proven beneficial and helpful to all concerned. Without cooperation, we suggest restric- tion of cars for freshmen and sophomores if necessary and more strict rules or higher fines. If enforcements become lax. the head- ache will grow more painful. And parking problems everywhere will always be a pain. Final Coments True Makeup Of A College Newspaper 'Y college is an organized com- m nity within itself. There's a gov- rnntent by the students, organiza- tion and people?adult collegians? w o go t. make up the various ac- l ivities, A college newspaper within this community should treat the govern- ment and the people who take part in these activities just as any hig- city daily covers the political hap- penings of the United States and the newsworthy activities of our 48 state. I here should be freedom from every and no suppression from over- e rs. News coverage and editorial policies s: ould be presented from tbe v . w of the editors. Administration officials should resnect it as the view i f student, and not criticize in terms of how state officials will react to si idents ? aper's opinion. They just aren't that interested. Pot Pourri That Time Again When the president of a college's student trovernment predicts stu- hn? solons just might take a stand on segregation or other important ius. that is news. The student newspaper doesn't try to create fric- n between any parties by running bold headline on the subject, but merely presents the news to its naders?students of a college com- munity. When student government officials ask that changes be made in certain areas, records of such should ap- eai in the college newspaper, not- withstanding the fact that some mem- ber "f the administration or college staff is heading the activities at which l e change. are directed. And when the paper's editorial columns ask that top Negro enter- inmeni i??- brought to campus along h tlit- lyric sopranos and what you, administration officials 'houkhll grumble and fear that legis- lature member in the stste might itand on their heads because of a ' , pe student's opinion and delete allowances for the college. Any m ;ii rr of a state legislature doing is would he downing college stu- ' initiative, ithout true campus news and i W student opinion there is no student news; aper.

Jimmy Ferrell Editor Mary Ellen Williams Business Manager Assistant Editors Sports Editor EDITORIAL ASSISTANTS NEWS STAFF Jerry Mills, Claudia Todd Staff Photographer BUSINESS STAFF Staff Artist Circulation Managers Exchange Editor Editorial Advisor Financial Advisor Technical Advisor JAN F. RABY, OLIVER WILLIAMS BILLY ARNOLD Bryan Harrison, Maratha Wilson Kathrvn Johnson, THE PRESENT staff of the East arolinian, one of the smallest and experienced in quite some time, ? - that steps have definitely gone forward in making the East Carolin- . i) a true news organ?a paper with all the facts on page one and the ? pinions of 'he editors and column- ists on page two. This is the way students within East Carolina's com- munity would have it, and the future editors of this newspaper should stlive to fuliill these obligations. I pointed out last week that this year's annual, in the case of the newspaper section, is a big liar. And 1 asked that you take a look at the masthead to see the names of those ! eople, who have really done their share in ; ublishing this year's paper. A change was not made in the mast- cad last week, but it's there this week. The majority of the news coverage and other hard work on this yen's paper has been handled by five people (Oliver Williams, Jan Raby, Billy Arnold, and Bryan Harri- son) and there are others on the news staff who have carried out their duties. East Carolina could definitely sup- port i larger weekly pa;er, but it is impossible due to the fact that very few people are interested enough in the work and will sacrifice the time to carry out individual du- ties. And five people can't flunk out o school for a bigger paper. I've often wondered how students in college really gain any satisfac- tion out of college life without tak- ing part in publications, dramatics, campus student government, or other prominent activities. You can mark them down in your little black book. Those who ignore college community duties will be playing the same role when they move into a bigger community later in life. But t ey'll still be around to offer criticism. There's an old saying that the dif- ference between a yankee and a damnyankee is that all the yankees are up north. Such a statement, of course, can be questioned by any intelligent per- son, for there are several yankee right ie on campus who are fine people under any definition. However, 1 would recommend the oll saying for any Southerner who suddenly finds himself backed against the wall by any of his unreconstructed yankee friends. I have been finding myself in that position quite often lately ami I keep hearing reports that certain yankee rofessors inject abusive digs at the South into their lectures. I'm not trying to break out the star, and bars and whistle "Dixie but I do think that a redefinition of the term damnyankee is in order. The damnyankee is the fellow who is usually dissatisfied with the North so he comes down South to pick bones- -literally, says he. No sooner than he unloads his car- petbag, he begins looking around and observing the poor conditions and the backward people. Of course, all this was nothing new to him, for he's read Lil' Abner d Erskine Caldwell. He used to jusl shrug off the desolate South as a botch on the nation, but now he takts it on imself to do a little mis- sionary work. So be begins by telling every Sou- therner he meets about the poor con- dition, and the backward people. He ?tev u sis blocks from Harlem, but he thinks the tenant system is U 11 ible. He thinks the Southern people are essentially nai -row-minded, because they don't want to go to school with negroes. Alt ough, chances are, he himself went t" S private school which didn't admit anything but white pro- testants. He believes that every Southerner is a potential member of the Ku Klux Klan. even though most Southerners have received their only knowledge of this organization through the movies and yankee newspapers. I he South has the worst schools in the nation. Its people are tradit- ionally ignorant. The whole educa- tion system U inferior to that of the north. 1 iit. Sou h ;??- no industry to speak of and that i. bad. Most ol the people aie underpaid lo the extent that they go barefooted all year long. The mortality rate is high, for many "pool whites" starve to death and many Negroes are lynched W( are so steeped in traditioti I we live constantly in the past. Our monument! to Confederate heroes is evidence to this. We worship our ancestor like the Chinese and we all own personal rebel flag which we nave on every occasion. This is really amusing, for most Southerners can't tell you who James Longs tree t or John C. Breckenridge was; and thtx-e ? ? ? rebel flags probably boug' t them from some yankee who was trying to make a fast buck. Of course, the damnyankee is ab- surd. Anyone who makes generali- zation like these is merely showing assinine side. There is only one suggestion for this type of visitor. That Is- yankee go home I'll admit connections aren't too good out o. Greenville, but I'm sure there are plenty of Southerners around that will give you a lift to Raleigh or Rocky Mount where stage- coaches leave foi the north several times daii. A Fond Fan u ? .

A ter two years behind this de3k, I'll remember the loyal support from tnff members, criticism from the usur.1 campus parties, and the daily headaches. But above all there will be the reward. That's all you can call it ?just a reward. I'll remember among many others, Miss Mary H. Greene, Dr. Clint SCENE: A local barbershop located not far from the campus. A short squatty young man, dressed in fresh- ly-pressed khaki pants and a loud siimmer shirt slides into the barber's chair at the far end of the room. The two boys who entered with him slump in the seats along the wall. Two of the other barbers sit in their barber's chairs, eyeing tele- vision. A third is slowly working on a customer, too interested in the TV to move faster, occasionally stopping completely to oggle the screen. "How you want it this time the barber at the far end says politely. The squatty young man says "J don't know. What have you got?" "It's on the calendar, there. Crew cut. College.

They'll give you a damn ticket around here Tbe barber says, "It's the same way uptown, here "Cost you anywhere from two to five dollars over there, though says the young man with the ticket. "Hey. Check that Gene motions. The two along the wall turn to sur- vey a girl in a tight dress passing outside. "I shore hate to see y'aJj go says the other barber. "The summer sc"nool bunch must not ever get haircuts "They too broke chirped the one with the ticket. "Paying them damn parking fines "I hate to see them girls go, too says the first barber.

"How 'bout that. Thirteen dollars "Thas a lot of haircuts A few moments later, the barber removes the sheet and napkin from his customer and swishes him with a powder-laden brush. "How's that?"

Readers' Comment Error In Book To The Editor: Unfortunately an error was made in t e advertisements section of this year's annual on the eighteenth page. Both Carolina and Taff Office Equip- ment Companies patronized the col- lege and its yearbook by buying ads. Much to the regret of the editors and business manager of the Buccaneer, the two advertisements were com- b ed. using a picture of Mr. Taff along with three students in the Taff concern on the corjy for Carolina Office Equipment Company. T' is announcement is made to in- form the students that both Taff and Carolina are advertising in the book and that the entire staff regrets the mistake. Unfortunately, however, errors do occur and this time it hap- pened to two of our advertisers. I. K.

KASt CAftOLiiUAN FRIDAY, May to as: nown "Here lie.s in honored glory an American Soldier known but to God The words are barely visible in the dim light of the dying day; but the measured pace of the guard keeping his lonely vigil over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier leads me back to tha-t little improvised chapel in the city hall of Chalons-sur-Marne, where I have been summoned to par- ticipate in one of the strangest mis- sions in military history? ? The year, 1921; the day, October 23. Four flag-draped caskets lay in the ch?pel, w ere the silence was broken only by my Steady pace. With each step 1 thought of how I had come to be here, to guard the re- mains of four Americans, one of which wa. to be the Unknown Sol- dier. Five days ago I was yanked f om regular duty and ordered to go to Cobleaz. Tpon arriving there 1, along with four other American soldier- from different outfits, had quizzed as to my war exper- ience 1 remember clearly the ex- pressions on my comrade, faces when v were told we were to be pall- bearers for the American Unknown Soldiei and that one of us was to make the actual choice. Genera Per- 3hing had selected four war dead from various battle fields in France ami had them brought to Chalons- sur-Marne. The man chosen to make the selection was one Sergeant Ed- ward F. Younger. The other four of us were to act as honor guards for the bodies until the one .selected was taken by the Nav. for .shipment to the States. We arrived in Chalons- s Maine three days ago and im- mediately began scheduled watches ovei t e bodies. I wondered just how many hours I had paced up and down this .still, silent room. 'Corporal Sheldon a voice echoed through the room smashing my train of thought. 1 came to a halt and saluted. "Yes By LLOYD teen minutes had passed. God, what monotony! 1 laughed as 1 recalled the captain's telliag me how much glory there would be in performing such a duty. Glory! Hell ye.s, there had been glory, but that was before these ett began to throb, and before this head began to ache. The glory was gone, and there was nothing to it iow but t i-s rotten marching. 1 shook my htad. 1 was thinking like a fool. Why hundreds of boys would give inything to be in my shoes. They would have bragged about this for .he aext fifty years. What did I lave to gripe about ? I continued to march back and orth, slower now t. an before. My a-ist watch informed me that an- ,h , fifteen minutes had passed. n:y naif an hour and i would be ree of the whole damn mess. As a in inn i, or more lapsed, my skin be- 4-an to feel cold and clammy. My legs felt unsteady, while my head egan to spin with dizziness. 1 reached ?

My rifle had fallen to he floor Inside me. Funny that I iiad aot heard it, for a thing of that size would have certainly made more? 1 hi familiar command "at ease" followed, and I spread my legs apart, lowered my rifle to the floor, and waited tor the man behind the lieu- tenant bars to speak. He began, " to one hour Ser- geant Younger will arrive here to the (he paused) Unknown Soldier. When he arrives, you will open the door, permit him entrance, and ste out, closing the door behind you. After he baa performed his duty, you wil. open the door, permit- ting him to leave. You are then to stand outside the door and wait the a: rival o! the other three men who are to accompany you in removine the selected body from the chapel. You have your orders. Are they clear?" "Yt- sir I answered. He turned to leave. As he reached the small paneled door, he swung around and spoke once more. "And ( wrporal Sheldon?" "Yes, lieutenant I returned some- what puzzled.

"I understand, sir I feebly at- tempted a smile, but smiling at a superior officer was not too easy. He closed the door behind him, and 1 realized trat I was alone once again. Placing my rifle upon my shoulder, 1 resumed my step. The hard cement floor had caused my feet to swell, and my shoulder ached from the continuous swinging of my arms. A glance at my watch related that fif- The pounding in my head increased; and as 1 groped at the wall for sup- port, a ; rotruding bit of plaster sank into the palm of my hand. I jumped away; and losing my balance, 1 fell to the floor. I lay there for a moment, taring up at the ceiling. What was wrong with me? I started to rise, ami a feeling of nausea surged rough my body, causing me to rea- lize that I was sick?sick with ner- ous fatigue, the most common ill? less among soldiers. A sudden gust of wind leaped through the window and blew out the ing!e candle on the altar, permit- ng the darkness to blanket over ne. I reached out, trying desperately u grasp some object that would en- oie me to raise myself from the lam . musty floor. My cold, shiver- ng hand brus ed against something ?ol:d. I closed my fimgers about it,I erked at it once or twice, seeing if . would support my weight; and ul ed myself into standing position he wind whipped about me, sending tckening chills throughout my frame as I moved my hands along the ob- ject trying to sense my position in .he loom. More chills tormented me as I discovered that I was supporting mysel. on one of the wooden eas- ets. The caskets being of different s ape.x gave way to my location in the little chapel, and 1 decided that t . walked to the right I would come to the unfinished altar. 1 moved slowly uritil my foot struck the hancel rail. Reaching out into the darkness, I felt for the table which eld the small waxy stub; and after what seemed hours my tb gers closed around it. The flame from my cig- arette lighter cast a narrow, shim- mering ray of light which brightened as the tiny wax pole again burst into life, 1 felt uneasy standing there beside tie casket, as I had not seen the room from this position before. Nervously I lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply on it, unconscious of the fact that 1 should again resume my guard. The .varmth of the cigarette lessened the chill; and the nausea eased up, lea- ving me with a temporary feeling of contentment. Again 1 glimpsed at my watch. Another ten minutes had BRAY, JR. passed leaving only twenty more. Thank God for that! 1 took another inhalation on my cigarette, letting the smoke pass lazily through my nostril out into the room. It formed crazy, blue designs as it rose and anished into the air. The thought f continuing my guard crept into my mind. First came this cigarette and hen the guarding I convinced myself. It seemed vtrange that never before .ad I treated duty this lightly, for iuty had always come first with me. May'?e it was because I was so dead ared, or because of this crazy, con- founded' task I was performing. I did not care. I continued to smoke until the .inning end of the cigarette reached my fingers; then I dropped it to the floor and crushed it with the heel of my boot. I stood there, deliber- ately putting off as long as I possibly could the duty 1 had to perform. My fingers toyed with the Ameri- can lag that was draped over the caket, and I began wondering just how the guys within these wooden boxes had gotten it. Most likely one of those little but deadly bullets from a German rifle. What outfit had each belonged to? Had one been a private, sergeant, or an officer? All sorts of question concerning heir identity began forming in my mind. Who knew but what some par- ticle of clothing or piece of equip- ment lying in these caskets would reveal an answer to just one of my questions? I was thinking like a fool or was 1? My curiosity rapidly pushed aside all thoughts concerning the line of duty. A glance into aach coffin might satisfy my inquiring mind. 1 turned the thought over in my brain. Should I chance it? If I were caught, there would be no tel- .ing as to w.at my court martial night be. The strange, unyeilding ariosity continued to mount within me until I knew that 1 must??! must ave one look into each of the rect- angu.ar boxes! .vly watch warned me of the little line 1 had; only ten minutes. At the nd of this time Younger would ome o m.kc the selection ol the body. Hurriedly making my way across e room, I came to .t;nid beside the asket on the far left. I hesitated 'or a moment; removed the flag 'rum ato the box; then cupping my ingers under the lid, I started to lift. t first the lid held ast, but after .lore pressure was applied it began 0 move. The loosely driven nails creeched a though warning me of te evil I was committing. When a' -t I e lid was open. 1 peered inside. Nothing but darkness met my eyes .iuttering a stream of oaths. I drove iy ha.id deep into my pocket, . earch- ng wildly for my lighter; and when 1 found it I held it down into the .sktt and lit it. Nervously I moved ay hand from one end to the other, training my eyes to see what was within. On one end of the rotting floor of i e box lay several bones, black with age, clung to by small particles of cartilage. On the other end, covered with cobwebs was a , iece of what might have been a boot. This and nothing more. 1 lowered the lid in disgust; and ifter placing the flag back on the o ?, 1 movtd to the second casket he lid would not budge. I pulled ? aider, applying every ounce of my ;length. Still it would not give. Rea- ding that my time was running out, i moved to the next. It ao would ot move. 1 was totally out of all ttience and wanted to cease, but im unknown force moved me to be foui h end last casket. Expecting hi same as before. I tried the lid; Local Geography Fraternity One Of Largest In United States ,d t my surprise it opened without n uch as a sound.

Pirate Baseball2rs Succumb To Catawba, 7-3, Lct V, eek Everette Defeats Field To Retain His vrown Ben Baker Pitches Piiates To 5-4 Win Over N C State A crowd of 3.000 fans turned out despite cold weather and rain, to see East Carolina nip North Caro- lina State's baseballers 5-4 at Guy Smith Stadium last Friday night. Ben Bakei, sophomore lefthand- er from Zebulon, went the full nine innings for EOC and gave up only seven scattered hit to the Wolf- pack, tie struck out nine batter The Pirates rallied in the first, scored again in the fifth and fin- ally in the seventh to secure the narrow victory. State scored their runs in the second and the fifth frames. East Carolina scored the winning run in the seventh on three con- secutive ingles. Joel Long and Bermej Stevens hit in succession, and a smash through 5hortstop by first baseman Dean Robbins scored long. State was unable to come ack. Fast BCC Start C ach Jim Mallory' Pirates stunned the huge crowd and State's Wolf pack in the first inning with a three-run assault that put them d early. Baker put the Pack down one-two-three and the EC of- fensive went to work. T e - anu- combination of batters hat I rougl t in the winning Pirate started the scoring. Outfielder Ber- mey Stevens tagged State Pitcher Dn Hafer for a single. Robbins tapped him for another. Bucky Reep urea hit by a pitched ball to load the bases. Tommy Nance, freshman outfielder from Greensboro, raj pel I long double into right:ield to score all three runners. ECC had a 3-0 lead. State picked up one run in the aecoi d inning on a walk and a hit ,y outfielder Jim Hill. State Takes Lead The Wolfpack exploded for three big i ana in the fifth inning to tie the score. The visitors turned four hits and a wild throw into tallies. Dennis Bradshaw got on on a fielder's choice. Dick Hunter walked. yant, Kennel and Hafer collected hits to score two of the runs. Then, third- aseman Jim Creekmore singled and a wild throw to first advanced each man two bases. Another score came across, making it 4-3. A fifteen-minute argument fol- lowed that play. Two State runners crossed the plate but one was ordered ack to third because o: the two- a-t -advance rule. "1 i B.ics tied it 4-4 on a walk, two hit batsmen and a sacrifice fly to the centerfielder. There was no more scoring then, mtil ECC's final run in the seventh. State changed pitchers in the eighth when BOC threatened again, but Ha- fer itceived credit for the !os. Friday afternoon, just hours before the NC State ballgame at Guy Smith Stadium, East Carolina's baseballers succumbed to a hard-hitting Catawba team, 7-3, at College Field. Coach Jim Mallory's club managed even hits w ile the Indians hacked out 13, including three long triple, dallory opened with Bruce Shelley OB ;he mound and relieved him after four innings. Leonard Lilley came on and went the rest of the distance for the Pirates but was unable to change the course of the game. ECC outfielder Joel Long poled a 400-foot homerun in the last of tve ninth to give the Bucs their third and final run. It was hi.s fourth of the season and gives him the edge over teammate Tommy Nance, who had three. T e loss to Catawba dropped ECC one-half game off top place and again placed them in danger of losing their .North State Conference title.

Sunday afternoon after lunch Dean Ruth White heard a peeping sound in the lounge of Jarvis Dormitory. Investigating the strange sound, she found five forlorn looking boys and a brown crumpled paper bag from which the sound seemed to be coming. After explaining that they were being initiated and showing her the tiny yellow chick in the bag, they asked for her help in fulfilling some of their assignments. First they had to have their pictures made in one of the girls' dormitory rooms. Yelling. "Man on the hall Dean White led the way t Alii.
