New Positions
New Choir Organized
Under Dr. Hjortsvang
For Chapel Services
On September 19, 1957 the Chapel
Choir was formed at Eafct Carolina
College under the direction of Dr.
Carl Hjortsvang. A few weeks later
on October 10, the members of the
ohoir decided to organize and with
those intentions elected Lee Giles,

iliar Tesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
The choir has rapidly progressed and
will be singing for a number of pub-
lic functions.
Plans for a "Get Acquainted" sup-
per are being made. This supper will
give the members of the choir a
chance to get to know each other
better.
Worth Baker, formerly housing di
rector, has been made personnel of-
ficer at the college and ha3 begun
work in his new position. Melvin Buck
of Greenville has replaced Mr. Baker
as housing director.
As director of personnel, Mr. Ba-
ker will work with the State Depart-
ment of Personnel and will handle
all matters relating to records, re-
ports, and payrolls at the college. A
graduate of East Carolina in 1954,
he worked with Redisco in Greenville
before joining the staff of the college.
Mr. Buck, also a member of the
class of 1954, served as a first lieu-
tenant in the U. S. Air Force after
his graduation. He has recently been
employed at the Eastern Lumber and
Supply Co. of Wintervills.
Publications Board Says
Approves Literary Mag
Plans for a literary magazine for
East Carolina were initiated Friday
afternoon when the Publication Board
passed approval of such a project.
The plan, submitted to the board
by students Billy Arnold and Bryan
Harrison, was devised last year and
has been worked on by them and
others since that time. It is to provide
the school with a magazzine which
will include all types of creative
writing supplied by students.
The Board's resolution is expected
to be taken up at the next meeting of
the SGA for student government

Dr. Hirshberg
Initiates Book
Review TV Show
Dr. Edgar W. Hirshberg of the
English Department has become not
only a noted literary columnist, but
also a rising television personality.
In an atmosphere akin to that of a
study or a den, he discusses books or
leads gues's to discuss books by inter-
viewing them every Monday night
at six-fifteen o'clock on channel nine.
This new five week old television
program is called "Look-in at Books
Having taught a Shakespearean
course at WNCT on the East Caro-
lina educational series several years
ago, Dr. Hirshberg is not new to the
medium of TV. About his new pro-
gram he says, "I'm enjoying it, but
I do wish I could get college students
to participate by reviewing books
for me. However, they have so much
reading to do in college that they do
not have time to do the outside read-
ing required for making book re-
views"
For about five years Dr. Hirsh-
berg has reviewed books for the Daily
Reflector in his weekly literary col-
umn "Books N Stuff which comes
out every Thursday. In one of his col-
umns he stressed the importance of
book reviewers in making the book a
srjcess, especially in large cities
where the reviewer has a good fol-
lowing. A book reviewer could well
make or break a book.

The current art exhibition spon-
sored by the Department of Art of
East Carolina College already has
created quite a bit of comment on
the art of those who have seen it.
The exhibition shows the work of
the five members of the Department
staff. Each has several pieces of his
work completed within the last year.
Mr. John Gorden is showing five
of ? is paintings completed this past

Physician Has
Not Put 'Asian'
Tag On Disease
The number of cases of flu-like di-
sease on campus "appear to be less
severe and diminishing now stated
Dr. Fred Irons, College physician.
Iron- said that the cases started
about two weeks ago and that there
were an unusually large number of
'hem. Repcrts from the infirmary
stated that about 64 students have
been sent home due to lack of s?pate.
The infirmary has bed space for 42
and with six other beds added, the
space was still not adequate.
It is not true that the college has
been quarantined.
Though Dr. Irons has not chosen to
definitely pin-point the flu-like di-
sease as Asian Flu, below are some
facts concerning the influenza:
1. What is Asian Flu?
Asian Flu is a virus infection that
first appeared in the Far East and is
recently appearing in this country.
2. Is it a serious sickness?
Yes and no. While not in itself a
particularly alarming disease serioun
complications may occur.
3. What are the symptoms?

5. Does Asian Flu strike more adults
than it does children?
All age groups are susceptible to
the infection.
6. What should one do about it?
Prevention: A vaccine against
Asian type influenza now is being

The "show-stopper" in the minds
of many is the display of ceramics

they work in this medium. During the
ast two years the Persick have
been in great demand as teachers
and lecturers in the field of ceremics.

EAST CAROLINIANS
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 24. 1
Go, Solons, Go!
On guard. Carolina! After reading in
The Daily Tar Heel that their solons were
expecting to "do great wonders" at the State
Student Legislative meeting which meets in
the not too di9Unt future, November 7, 8, 9,
we 3ay, don't be so sure. East Carolina is
planning on sending a dozen or so of its best
politicians to this same event. Plans are be-
ing made to propose a few bills of its own.
This vear teamwork is the ky word and
when "enough "little spokes" get together,
even the "big wheel" can be overpowered
The politicians over at Chapel hill
should be forewarned about the boyS from
ECC, who know a few backroom and caucus
trick's of their own. Katsias is no mean man
with the smooth phrases while Monroe and
Chesson can well hold their own. Everyone s
bound to sit up and pay attention if Driver
makes it to the convention floor and turns
on that personality. Meanwhile Mr. Phelps
will be making friends for "our gang" and
before anyone knows it, ECC will be up on
top.
While forewarning Carolina and a few
others, at the same time we'd like to admonish
the ECC team to leave a few plums for the
"Bik Four It just wouldn't do for a young
upstart like East Carolina to take over the
gavel and show the big boys how things
should be done.
So here's to the delegates of ECC and
much success in your endeavors! Bring home
the bacon, and we'll be mighty proud of you.
We're Glad To Have You
The students of East Carolina would
like to thank Mr. and Mrs. Paul Harris Jr
Danforth Foundation speakers on campus
for their inspirational talks and the chal-
lenge which they have presented to us.
Their visits in the class rooms and in
the dorms have made many of us think
about subjects which previously we have
ignored.
"A Philosophy of life" was the topic
chosen for discussion during the week by the
speakers. Realization of the vital concern
about this subject has dawned upon some
of the sleeping minds.
Through the guidance of the speakers,
subjects of campus interests discussed in an
enlightened manner. The varied experiences
of Mr. and Mrs. Harris added spice to the
discussions heard by the students.
East Carolina College welcomes the Dan-
forth visits to our campus and we extend a
cordial invitation to Mr. and Mrs. Harris to
return again.
Welcome To ECC
The East Carolinian wishes to welcome
on campus this week-end representatives
from colleges all over the state for the North
Carolina Athletic Federation For Women. It
is a great honor for the meeting to be held
here and it is hoped that much will come out
of it. We hope these young women will en-
joy their visit to East Carolina and will
find it as hospitable as we claim, for ECC
is a "friendly" college. Best wishes in your
endeavor.
Editorially Speaking
Every College
Campus Has
Problems
by JAN RABY
Everybody has problems and it's
interesting- to note what is happening1
on other college campuses.
The young women at Greensboro
College are worrying about budget
problems. Does that sound familiar?
They suggest increasing the student
activity tee.
At Valparaiso University, In
diana. everyone is raving problems
with parking vehicles lacking regis-
tration stickers. They have a five
dollar automobile registration fee.
Support the football team, says
State Teachers College, Trenton, New
Jersey. They also say that integration
is not a sectional problem.
Over at Appalachian it is suggested
that the Homecoming Queen be elect-
ed prior to the annual 1 omecoming in
order that the publicity could create
more interest in attending home-
coming activities.
Guilford College's paper's editor-
ial staff were upset at the latest lit-
erary suppression in the action of the
New York board of education in
dropping Mark Twain's "The Ad-
ventures of Huckleberry Finn" from
the approved textbooks of the city's
schools.
Meanwhile at Elon the conversa-
tion is about how to go about study-
ing. They decided that the only way
is to keep up daily with the subject
and do something the night before a
quiz to relax.
Our neighbor, the University of
Tennessee, notes a hundred dollar
line for a social fraternity by the

ers Strike?" in an editorial of the

there's the matter of athletic depart-

Thanks to Betty Edwards for a
note about the doings of O'Brien Ed-
wards, one of BOC's more prominent
legislators during my four years
here. He's now in the Army and
stationed in Hawaii and is taking
some courses at the University of

Many, many thanks to everyone
who has been saving the little red
tapes off cigarettes for the necessary

At the executive council meeting
Jimmy Phelps, SGA president, ex-
pressed the opinion that his program
could not be effective in bringing
the SGA to the students, unless there
was mutual cooperation between the
student body and the SGA. "We ARE
the students. We can not represent
you unless you come to us with your
problems. Our office hours are posted
arid there are over eighty members in
the legislative branch to represent
you and voice your problems. I should
like to remind you that the judiciary
is a part of the student government.
1 would like to say that the judiciary
should be commended, rather than
condemned
The East Carolinian is looking for-
ward to better coverage of the SGA
with the change of meeting time to
Monday inght.
Representatives of the college
union are journeying to Duke for a
meeting of college union officers all
over the state. It is hoped that they
will bring back plans for a better or-
ganization in order to build a better
college union.
It's a shame that the day students
do not have better facilities in their
day rooms. It looks like a SGA com-
mittee would be appointed to invest-
igate this. The day students are a
vital part of our student body
We hear that the coke machine in
Wilson dorm is empty afer six p. m.
Now isn't that a shame?
Congratulations to the veterans for
forming plans for a more active or-

Big man around campus in the
YMCA is senior Gus Manos. After
two year's experience in the Y in-
cluding the vice-president's position.
Gus attained the presidency this year.
For his work with this and other
organizations as well as his com-
mendable tributes ot service, char-
acter, and personality, the East Caro-
linian bestows to Gus this week's
Who's Who honors.
Greek Descent
Years ago Mr. and Mrs. Manos
came from their native homeland of
Greece to live in Fayetteville, North
Carolina. There iu attended public
school' fciv t for two years of study
at a Greek-American private board-
ing school just outside New York City
in Portchester, N. Y. At the age of
ten he and his twelve-year-old sister
entered t old ca3tle-type academy
primarily to learn the Greek lang-
uage, which their parents still spoke
ently. A second reason for their
going was that World War II had
broken oul and Fayetteville was be-
coming a spot of turmoil and corrupt-
ion; while on its outskirts Fort Bragg
was booming. During those two years
G is and his sister made sixteen train
trl s between New York and North
' Carolina.
After graduation from high school
in I960 ius worked for two years
with the Fayetteville Public Works
Commission a.s a light meter reader.
The following two years he spent in
the Navy. As a typist in the Special
Services Division he met some out-
standing entertainers, athletes, and
movie stars including Deborah Pad-
get and Tommy Wiswell, World's
Champion Checker Player.
Gus had always liked the game of
checkers, having played when he was
a little hoy with the old men around
Fayetteville. Then while in the Navy
he had acquired a scientific interest
in the pastime and had read Mr.
Wiswell's books on the subject. So
when the champ himself provided
opportunity for a meet, Gus naturally
(Jus Manos
jumped at the chance. They played
two games, each a tie. As a result
Gus received a set of ivory checkers
from Mr. Wiswell plus the advice to
give up checkers because there was
no future in it.
That's when Gus changed his avo-
cation to hjvnosis. He began a study
of the art and some experimental
work on his own. Upon his release
from the Navy Gus and an interested
friend formed a Psychical Research
Club back in his hometwon. Its twen-
ty members including some Fayette-
ville business men, dentists, and Fort
Bragg officers met in the City Rec-
reation Building during that summer
of '54 before Gus went away to col-
lege. They helped the public break
nervous habits as biting nails, stop
drinking or smoking, lose weight, etc.
And Then College
Simply "to get what was coming
to me" Gus came on a GI Bill to ECC
in the fall as a business major. He
joined the Veteran's Club and the
Westminster Fellowship. At the end
of the year he went to the western
tart of the state to Montreat for a
week-long WF Conference. Since then
he's been back to the same confer-
ence every summer.
During his sophomore year he ad-
ded the YMCA, Circle K, Canterbury
Club, FBLA. and WF Council to his
list of activities. This was his last
year in campus talent shows as a
hypnotist and his first year to attend
the YMYVYCA Southeastern Regional
Conference, meeting at Emory and
Henry College in Emory, Virginia.
His junior year he was elected to
the offices of vice-president in the
YMCA, treasurer in the WF, and
treasurer in Circle K. At Christmas
lie represented the Y at a United
Students Christian Council meeting
at Davidson College. Also he took in
the International Circle K Conven-
tion in Philadelphia plus the Regional
Y Conference at Berea College in
Berea, Kentucky.
The summer afterward he served
as counselor for two weeks at an
K. iscopai Church Choir Camp loca-
ted at Camp Leach, N. C. And then
he went to New York for the begin-
ning of a "fabulous six weeks" at a
national YWTMGA Leadership
Training School at Union Theological
Seminary' of Columbia University.
The fourteen girls, four boys, and
two directors attending the school
were under a uniepje cooperative liv-
ing system. In the mornings they
went to their classes together; fa
the afternoons they studied together
in the massive house where they lived;
in the evenings they saw New York
together. Some of the highlights Gus
mentioned were "Little Abner a
seat in the Press Box at Yankee Sta-
dium to hear Billy Graham, the Little
Church around the Corner, Coney
Island on the fourth of July, and a
lawn picnic and interview with
Eleanor Roosevelt at Hyde Park.
This year marks the end of college
days for Gus. Next year? He's think-
ing about a work camp in Europe for
a while. And of course he's still got
his checkers, hypnosis, bridge, danc-
ing, and convention memories to fall
back on if ever he runs out of any-
thing to do.

By KATHRYN JOHNSON
Dr. Hoskins announces that the
English club will meet tonight, with
poetry readings as the main point of
interest. It was postponed last week
due to the flu outbreak.
When I was a "child" my Grand-
mother gave me a small red book
with pictures of a beautiful white
doe on the cover. Because the book
was written in poetic form I never
attempted to read it. Recently while
scanning through this book, "The
White Doe or The Legend of Vir-
ginia Dare I found not only one of
the most beautiful and artistically
written folk legends, but also that
the author was Mrs. Sallie Southhall
Co tten after whom our own Cotten
Hall was named.
Living at Cottondale, a beautiful
cotton plantation a few miles from
Greenville that was the family home
of her husband Robert Cotten, Sallie
seems to have been the epitome of a
Southern lady. Dr. Lucile Turner,
head of the English Department,
remembers that during her first year
at East Carolina, 1926, Mrs. Cotten
lectured here. She describes Mrs.
Cotten as "a friend of the college
who helped it in everyway that she
could
Believing strongly that history
should be supplemented by research
into myths, folklore, and legend,
Mrs. Cotten seems to be an earlier
version of ono of NNorth Carolina's
most outstanding historical novel-
ists of today, Inglis Fletcher. She set
out to collect the most interesting of
these tales of folklore and did so in
three books all of which may be
found in the college library. The
first, "The White Doe was an In-
dian legend about what happened to
Virginia Dare of the Lost Colony.
A later book entitled "What Aunt
Dorcus Told Little Elsie was a col-
lection of North Carolina folklore.
Besides believing in the quality
of N. C. folklore, Mrs. Cotten worked
continually for the rights and ad-
vancement of women. This lead her to
help organize tihe North Carolina
Federation of Women's Clubs in
1902. She served as state president
from 1911-1913 and she is sometimes
referred to as "Mother of the Federa-
tion "A History of the North Caro-
lina Federation of Women's Clubs
(1901-1925)" was her last and per-
haps her most renowned book.
Folks in Greenville who remem-
ber this grand old lady described
her as one with a quick wit and a
sparkling personality. To prove this
point they tell an anecdote con-
cerning the marriage of one of her
daughters. The flowers for the wedd-
ing had been ordered from Raleigh
and were coming to Greenville via
an old Norfolk-Southern freighter.
When on the day of the wedding the
flowers still had not arrived, Mra.
Cotten made a bridal bouquet out of
pi.y'vy white cotton from her own
cotton field and the wedding went
on as scheduled.
And of course, adding to the confusi
was the rumor going about that there was a
boy in the men's sick ward upstairs f
walked in his sleep and roamed all over the
infirmary. But nobody really believed it
however; I noticed two of the girls put th
make-up on and straightened the sheets and
sat watching the door until way after mid-
night?when I finally dozed off. They were
still sitting there, awake and watching when
I woke up next morning. A few such vivid
memories remain from my visit.
On the serious side, they really get a lot
done for you over there. During this flu epi-
demic they've had on overflow of students
and were even short of beds at times. The
infirmary's forty-two bed capacity had been
reached last week, and six additional beds
wer? set up. Additional help was also sum-
moned to assist the regular staff. Consider-
ing the number of students they were caring
for, they have been doing a wonderful job.
The self-help students over there are
great, too. Besides performing their regular
duties they were so nice as to check our post
office boxes and even get some cokes for
us one night. And you could always send
messages to the outside world through them.

Ken Burgess
By MERVIN HOBBY
Co-Captain Ken Burgess is the re-
cipient of this week's player of the
Week honors for his fine performance
in last Saturday's losing effort a-
gainst Western Carolina. Ken has
played proficiently and determined'
ly in the Pirate forward wall all
year long and well deserves this
honor.
Burgess is no stranger to football
fame. He starred for Burlington High
School's Bulldogs during te '51 thru
'53 seasons. Ken was a blocking
back in high school and easily made
the switch to guard after enrolling
at ECC. In high school Ken received
the Blocking Trophy and was Cap-
tain of the team his senior ysar.
Ken is one of the best football play-
ers ever to come out of Burlington,
a city which has produced many good
football players.
Burgess has played first string for
the Pirates since his sophomore year.
He was playing regularly last year
until an injury about mid-season,
which hampered him the remainder
of the season, after which he saw
only limited action.
Ken's prowess as a guard was re-
cognized and rewarded by his team-
mates' selecting him as co-captain,
along with Dick Monds, of this year's
Pirates.
There is not much, glory to play
in the line; but if ons will watch
closely this Saturday, I'm certain
they will see Ken Burgess giving
his all for victory. The linemen do
not usually receive much glory, but
normally receive bruises and pains
so necessary for victory.
Congratulations, Ken, and good
luck in you and your fellow players'
a-temt to get back in the win
column this Saturday against New-
bury.

delegates from schools all over the
state, is being hosted by the East
Carolina Women's Recreation Asso-

Two former presidents of college
athletic groups will hold the spot-
light at opening exercises Friday.
They are Mrs. Jean Edge, president
of EOC's Women's Recreation Associ-
ation of three years ago, and Mrs.
Hope Taylor, former head of the Mer-

Both are physical education teachers
at present.
Planned discussions, led by dele-
gates from W. C, ECC, Montreat
and Greensboro, top the afternoon's
agenda. Subjects covered will include
leadership, physical fitness, organi-
zation and publicity.
A meeting of the group's Advisory
board will follow at 4:30, and a
banquet in the East Dining Room,
at which the featured speaker will
be the Psychology Department's Dr.
Prewitt, will end the official slate of
activities.
Once-Beaten Indians
Rate Heavy Favorites
In Saturday's Battle
Newberry, one of South Carolina's
strong Little Three teams, invades
t" e Pirate Den Saturday night hoping
to record it's first win over aNorth
State eleven.
The Indians have had plenty of
success in past seasons handling
North State opposition but bowed
to Lenoir Rhyne in their only loss
thus far. The visitors journey to
Greenville with a 2-1-1 mark.
East Carolina will enter the Sat-
urday non-conference tilt still seek-
ing its first win of the season. Last
Saturday, the Bucs bowed to West-
ern Carolina in what must be termed
as their best effort of the season,
heir blocking was better and their
de ensive play was outstanding with
the Catamounts turning fumbles in-
to victory.
The visitors will be heavy favorites
to win over their upper state foe.
Newberry romptd past Carson-New-
man, and also Troy State of Alaba-
ma. Their tie came with The Citadel,
a club which is surprising everybody
in the Southern Conference.
The Citadel defeated Davidson by
a couple of touchdowns and the Cats
marched past ECC by the same mar-
gin.
Bobby Rowe and Bob Yarnoll, a
couple of speedy halfbacks, lead
Newberry's high-geared offense.
Quarterbacking the club is Scottie
Spears, a 170-pound sophomore.
Spears is considered more of a run-
ning threat than a passer but has
utilized the forward pass some &?
fall.
ECC may face one of the toughest
defenses on their schedule Satur-
day when they run up against Marion
Lee and company. Lee, a strong 211
pounder, plays tackle for the South
Carolinians and is given a good bet
for All-Sate honors and is given big
build for Little All-American. Lee
is a home-grown product hailing from
Florence, S. C.
Senior guard, James Fleming, is
another Indian the Bucs will have to
contend with. Weighing in at only
175, Fleming and the Pirate's Ken
Burgess should have a big time
esting out their ability on a small
man lor a change.
James Speight will lead the Pi-
rate's often-stalled offense. Speight,
an All-Conference candidate, had
rolled Ujp 229 yards rushing before
the Western Carolina game. The
Greenville na'ive had amassed a 5.6
average yards per carry, which is
considered pretty good. Aiding
Speight on the ground attack will be
Tommy Nash and Bob Lilley.
Ralph Zehring, Bill Skeeter, and
Stuart Holland will probably all get
a call at quarterback with Zehring
getting the starting nod. The Vir-
ginia native has been a passing
threat thus far this season.
In the line play Boone will count on
Larry Howell, Charles Cooke, Ed
Emory, Ken Burgess, Dick Monds, and
Lynn Barnett to anchor the Bucs
interior line. On the flanks will be
Howard Beale, Tommy Jones, Bill
Cain, and David Thomas.
The Bucs are winless this season
and hope to break into the win col-
umn by the upset route. ECC has
three home encounters before wind-
ing up the season at Presbyterian.
The East Carolina coaching staff have their hands full in getting their squad ready for the strong Newberry
Indians this Saturday.
EPO Fraternity Takes
Lead In Tag Football
Loop; Flu Interferes
By BILL BOYD
After remaining in the number
hree and four stpots in the BOC in-
tramural league standings, the EPO
Fraternity won two games last week
to move ahead of all the other teams,
Action was held to a minimum during
he week's play due to the flu virus
and the Country Gentlemen did not
play at all. All cancelled games will
be made up before October 28 when
league play stops and tournament
play begins
EPO took on Umstead Hall last
Monday and barely emerged the vie-
or as they won by a score of 12 to
8. Billy Vestals is the manager of
the EPO crew which was led by
Jim Parkin, Gene Ratliff and Den-
nis Conner. Umstead Hall got off to
a slow start in early league play but
the team has very much improved
itself since that time. Wednesday,
Merle Teachy and Jerry Johnson did
all of the scoring as the EPO picked
up its second win of the week by
owning Kappa Sigma Nu by a de-
cisive 19 to 0 score. Johnson scored
twice for his team. Other definite
standouts for the EPO squad were
Earl Eelliga, Ralph Beston and Clit
aGatte. Vestals, Parkin and Connor
played their usual fine game.
After forfeiting their first two
scheduled games the ROTC team
not only showed up for their game
but they took a 19 to 6 impressive
win at the hands of Phi Kappa Alpha.
Black, Biggs and Smith did all of
the scoring for the Officer's Training
group. The ROTC has a lot of games
to make up in order to catch up with
the rest of the league and are ex-
pected to be real strong for the rest
of the league season.
A battle of noti-winners took tplace
Wednesday and after it was all
over, te hapless Phi Kappa Alpha I lRat
still had not won a game and Phi
Gamma Pi brought their league recon
up to a 1 win and 5 loss mark. An
0 and 6 record is not one that the
Phi Kappa Altpha can be duly proud
of but Dick Buckley and his team
are to be commended on their sports-
manship and desire. There has to be
a bottom team in every sport and
ECC Fails In
Fifth Start
Western Carolina ended an ECC
jinx last Saturday night when the
Catamounts took advantage of num-
erous Pirate fumbles to record a 20-7
.ictory in North State play. It was
he c: t?' second win in three con-
erence ilts while the Bucs are win
ess in three loop engagements.
East Carolina got In trouble on the
ipening kick-off when Joe Holmes
fumbled deep in his" own territory.
SCC held within their ten yard line
ut it was short-lived as the Cats
got another break and this time drove
for paydirt.
The Pirates were able to gain a
7-7 halftime score when James
Speig' t, "the Pirate Horsenn
broke loose for a 39 yard jaunt. It
??as Speight's third touchdown of the
season.
The Cats broke the deadlock in the
second half by pouncing on several
BCC fumbles and driving for touch-
downs.
The Pirate defense stopped the
Cats on several occasions but the sec-
ond half was played in ECC territory
with the Bucs having their hands on
the ball very few times.
al hough Buckley's is definitely the
cellar dwelling team in this league,
he scores do not show the determina
tion and attitude that his team has
displayed thus far.
Due to the flu virus as mentioned
before, there were two forfeits dur-
ing the week's activity. One came
at the expense of the Delta Sigma
Kho with Umstead finally getting
ur over the .500 mark at the DSR's
expense. The other forfiet was be-
tween .Phi Gamma Pi and Te River
s of Doug Watts. The River Rats
were ready to play when the starting
whistle was sounded and Phi Gamma
Pi was not, so of course the River
R:it squad got themselves an easy
victory to run their mark to 4 and 2.
This rounded out the limited ac-
tion during the week. All team mana-
gers and members are reminded to
refer to t' e intramural bulletin board
Baby Bucs Continue
Winning Ways; Meet
Fork Union Friday
Coach Earl Smith and nis victori-
ous Baby Bucs journey to Fork
Union, Va tomorow to meet Fork
Union in an afternoon battle.
The ECC junior varsity has won
two of its three tilts with their
last victory being a 25-12 victory
over the University of Richmond
yearlings. They defeated Chowan
Junior College and lost to Wingate
Junior College.
Their best effort was against Rich-
mond with Quarterback Bill Skeeter
and halfback Brownie Salmon lead-
ing the attack. Skeeter was very
deceptive in scoring once and setting
up the other Baby Buc scores. Sal-
mon, a Wallace native playing in the
shadow of his high school running
mate, Wray Carlton, broke through
the Spiders' defense for numerous
gains and one touchdown.
The defense of Coach Smith's
charges also proved stout with Charles
Vaughn, Joe Lewis, LeRoy Singleton,
Tommy Bland, Wayne Davis, Henry
Vansant, and Bert Harrell standing
out. In the defensive secondary
George Slaughter and Jack Beale
w re impressive. Beale, the Ports-
mouth defensive star, was a ball
Lawk grabbing several interceptions
in his short period of play.
Coach Smith is expected to go with
much the same line-up when they
seek win number three tomonow
afternoon. Skeeter will probably di-
rect the forces with help coming
from George Turner.

Time For A Celebration
He Remembers Very Well
As Unpredictable As The Weather
This college art department is "going great guns" as we see from stories
on page 1, so it's no wonder Dr. Wellington Gray, head of the department,
and some members take time out for refreshments
Letters To The Editor
Dear Editor.
I have recently become alarmed at
the way it seems students are being
turned in for small rule infractions
by 'heir fellow .students. It is beyond
my wildest imagination what these
informers hope to derive from prey-
ing on their fellow students and run-
ning to the nearest dean or advisor
to tell what the suspect did wrong.
It is no wonder to me that every-
one, especially a girl, wants to go
home on the weekends. They can move
around a bit at home without tine
fear of being turned in by one of the
neighborhood kids.
I can remember from history how
people were persecuted for not be-
lieving as the government, or people
in charge, wanted them to believe.
These people couldn't even say any-
thing against authority, much leas
break a rule. Is this what we w?;nt
at ECC? Can a person break even
one tiny rule without someone grab-
bing them by the collar and marching
them to the judiciary board?
If ECC is to operate an honor sys
tern, let's come out in the open and
do away with the "squeal" system;
which we seem to have row. Students
don't like "tattle tales" and the school
spirit which we crave so much can
never be obtained as long as a few
individuals keep acting like grade
school kids and run to the teacher
every time they see something that
doesn't suit them. ECC is doomed to
remain a "suitcase" college until
these certain individuals grow up
and realize that they are never going j
to impress anyone with their "pro
tector" attitudes.
Many people will recognize that
this letter is not the one which was
handed, without my permission, to
the women's judiciary board and is
not the one which was available in
the soda shop. But, due to circum-
stances, I thought it both wise and
necessary to reject that letter.
I would also like to add that this
letter, in its entirety, was written by
ne and that the insinuation that I
received assistance from a female
student is completely unfair and un-
true.
Thank You,
Don Dunson

The Yanks Say
Dear Editor,
In view of the fact that your rather
unqualified writer, Bryan Harrison
is resigning from the staff of the
East Carolinian, I feel that it is my
duty as an American citizen to take
advantage of this last opportunity
to express my thoughts on the article
written in the final issue of the
East Carolinian, Spring Quarter of
1957, titled "Go Home Yankee
Evidently ex-writer Harrison chose
to print this article in the last issue
of the school year because, the public
would not have an immediate oppor-
tunity to comment on it. Just be-
cause he is not capable of leraera-
bering for five months, I wish he
would nut take it for granted that
everyone ?: that weak minded.
If Mr. Harrison would have been
more observing before he had written
his article, and if he was not so
simple minded he would have realized
that not only are there a few Yankee
students ECC, but a good many of
he faculty are so called "Yankees
I can not help but feel that they
have done a great deal to raise the
academic rating of ECC.
I hope that Southern Hospitality
is not rated by Mr. Harrison's stan-
dards. Please realize that this letter
is not in'ended for generalization, it
is directed only to Mr. Harrison. One
should not generalize in situations of
this type.
May I suggest that before Mr.
Harrison attempts to write publicly
again, he should "wise up hill-billy

YW-YMCA Halloween Party
drawn up to be presented to the IFC
body. T: is presentation of the com-
mittee's findings took place at the
earliest possible time, Monday af-
ternoon, Oct. 14. The IFC made its
decision then and the East Carolinian
was informed of the happenings, im-
mediaely.
In the meantime, the East Carolin-
i: n decided to put a black mark on the
IFC, by accusing it of either being
a farce or trying to hide something
It must be made clear that the IFC
is not, as the East Carolinian sub-
gested, run by an outside dictator,
nor does it have anything to hide.
It has beeji the policy of the IFC to
co-operate as much as possible, with
the East Carolinian. It seems to be a
' step backward for the East Carolin-
ian to abandon co-operation for mud-
slinging mid the likes.
Evidently the staff reporters did
not put forth enough effort to find out
Letter To The Editor:
Lately the Women's Judiciary has
been receiving unjust criticism from
some of the members of the student
body. I am a student here and have
been under the jurisdiction of this
body for a year and a quarter. During
this time I have been called before
it twice. The first thing I noticed j
about the Judiciary was the air of
justice and the desire of the members
to do the right thing. Equity is given
priority, and all cases are given the
utmost consideration and attention.
To the best of its ability, the Judic-
iary metes out punishment according
to offense, and the reasonable girls
of the college are the first to admit
this fact. There are some male stu-
dents, however, who resent the rules
and the body that has the power to
enforce these rules. They are quick
to express the view of the unin-
IFC Disagrees
LETTER TO THE EDITOR:
In last week's editorial column
there appeared an article labeled,
"Press Censorship There seems to
be a definite misunderstanding of the
procedures of the Interfraternity
Council by the East Carolinian. At
the first meeting of the IFC Judicial
Committee, a case was investigated
thoroughly and recommendations were
what was
happenig nor the consti-
utionally required procedures or they
prefer to continue to make wild ac-
cusations, with no basis.
It was stated in your column that
it is your goal to present the news
and the happenings to the students.
If this is true, the IFC would still
like to co-operate with the East Caro-
linian and hope for some improve-
ments.
Sincerely,
Mac Lancaster,
Vice Pres IFC.
EDITOR'S NOTE. Reporters who
covered the IFC's trial of Kappa
Sigma Nu were informed that the
decision reached at the trial would
not be definite until the following
Monday. No reasons for the delay
were offered to the reporters and
the newspaper assumed only what it
was forced to.

1he department of music, and Robert
J. Vetter of Greenville will have lead-

tery by the popular author of who-
dunits.

pose of providing scholarships en-
abling students at East Carolina
Colege to study abroad.
"The Mouse Trap" will be directed
by Robert C. Forney of Greenville.
Miss Graber will appear for the first
time at the college in a leading role.
Both Mr. Forney and Mr. Vetter have
