Serum is available and will spoil if not used within a certain length of time. Warning A word of warning to men dormi- tory students comes from the Dean of Men and Chief Harrell. Leaving the door key over the room door is not a good practice as it is an open invitation to any thief to walk in. Several thefts have been reported recently. The night policeman will check at night in the dormitories, and possibly in the daytime, for these keys and will turn them over to Dean J. H. Tucker. Students will have to re- port to Tucker for the return of the keys and may expect disciplinary action to be taken. Also thefts at the gym have been reported. Harrell suggests that stu- dents use the lockers and lockB which may be obtained from Dr. Jorgensen or either leave billfolds and such items in the dormitory locked up.

Phelps Reports On Progress Of His Administration "I believe that to date, the ad- ministration of this year's SGA has surpassed the accomplishments of any other previous legislature at East Carolina These were the words of SGA president Jimmy Phelps as he reviewed the events that have hap- pened as his term reached the half- way mark this Monday night. Pbelps msde note of the following as he addressed the campus legisla- tors: 1. The establishment of a picture- Identification card for Bast Caro- lina students.

JAN RABY Editor CAROLYN SMITH Business Manager Managing Editor Billy Arnold Editorially Speaking New Reporters, Business Staffer Being Sought By JAN RABY WE'RE HAPPY that so many of you missed the papr during the ex- ams and following the Thanksgiving holiday, as was evidenced by the many questions of "when's the paper coming out?" Thanks to the pre-exam vaca- tion, we editorialists passed our ex- anis and courses and we're back to try again. MANY EXCHANGERS are unsure of our number of publications and schedule. So far, we have 'published nine issues prior to this one. The is- sue following this one will be Decem- ber 19 and the next issue will be Jan- uary 16. EACH ISSUE we hope to feature a department on campus, if possible. This week the honor goes to the Mu- sic Department which serves the col- lege not only on the campus but !eads much good publicity by the trips of the various groups in the de- partment to other areas. EXPERIMENTING this quarter, we're planning on a 'Kulture" preview and review of entertainment column on page 2 each week. Also we have a new columnist to give you a slant on world events. But we're .still in- t rested in a "WeVI like to see on campus" ty; e column supported by student letters. How about it? HELP WANTED is still our theme as we welcome any newcomers to the staff who are interested in journalism in its best practical applicationwork. Editor's office hours are 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a. m. Monday and Wednesday; 2:00 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. on Mon Tues Wed and Friday. You can also catch me at points in between the office and t e rimer's shop. See also Billy Arnold, Managing Editor, or Martha Wilson, Feature Editor, if you have questions to ask. We would especially like for someone to come up this quarter and assist Carolyn Smith, Business Manager, nnd learn the job in order to take over next year. FILE COPIES of certain old issues of the paper are needed by the li- brary .staf to be bound for perma- nent filing. Issues missing are: Vol- ume 31, numbers 8 and 9; Volume 31, numbers 1, 1U, arid 19; and Volume HO numbers 1C and 19. See Mr. Ram- sauer in the Library if you have copies of these issues. THE MAINTENANCE DEPART- MENT agreed with us that the streets on campus should be named. Why aren't they? DON'T MISS the Christmas As- sembly. It' one of my favorite mem- ories of my college days and I'm sure you'll agree, once you've attended one. It's one occasion that the stu- dent body really shows some spirit and a feeling of closeness abounds. I'll remind you again, next issue, not to miss it. It's worth the time. REGISTRATION DAY still left something to be desired in the way of organization. The freshmen were packed in certain lines like canned sardines. HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN SOME- THING? It would be nice to see mem- bers of the various departments get together for a review or revamp of teaching technique. There must be a reason students rate some teachers so high and we don't believe it's en- tirely the grading angle. COMMENDATIONS to WWWS, our FM radio station, for the speaker which now helps spread the music over the campus via the Library win- dow. Also a 'pat on the back to those students who have volunteered their time to work in the radio station. FOREWARNING TO SOCIAL FRATERNITIES not only will we present various campus depart- ments as a seature, but we will also devote space in one issue to "what have the social fraternities done as a service to ECC so far ALUMNI SPIRIT begins in college, we suggestwhy not a "Represent your C unty" night in the Alumni Building and sponsored by the Alumni Association. Different counties could i leet in different rooms and during different hours, with each meeting limited to an hour, with refreshments served. It would be just a social get- together, say, for freshmen and soph- omores during Fall quarter. Just an iiea; it could be developed in several different directions. WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS (ha) !) is a small pocket-size "Writo- graph" (hasn't been invented yet, to my knowledge) which will enable me to transcribe my thoughts, while walking, onto Braille-like tape via this "thing" that should look like a miniature accordion , . . say, give it to me by Christmas of 1999.

Lena Kay McLemore, a Primary Education major from Henderson, is a bouncy brunette with a really jam-packed schedule. Yet when I entered her room she was sitting cross-legged on a chair tediously em- broidering her initials on a blouse. "I Jo it to fill my sare time she commented as I watched her needle go monotonously in and out of the mateiial. "I also knit argyle socks he added. Lena Kay is president of Garrett Hall, a job which she really enjoys. "Mrs. Helen Snyder, dormitory coun- selor for East Garrett. is a pleasure to work with and a big help to me. She takes personal interest in all of 'her girls' and it was her idea to have a farewell party for graduating sen- iors each quarter Active In SGA Active in the SGA, Lena was cho- sen to speak to Mrs. Eunice McGee's Freshman Orientation class about the program and activities of the SGA. This was part of SGA president Jim- my Phelps' plan to take the SGA to the students. She also served on the handbook and homecoming commit- tees. Swimming is number one on her enjoyment list, so naturally she is a member of both the Aquanymphs and the Aquatics clubs. In January she will swim with the aquanymphs in the annual High School Swim Day at which students from high schools all over North Carolina will be shown New Co-ordinator Campus Asset By V UVCT LILLY and MARGAR1 GEDDIE This is supposed to be a "culture col . but we (1 n't pretend to be cam . seurs.

"I really en- joyed it, 'hut we had to practice two hour? a day and it took up a lot of time she explained. Favorite Teachers "My favorite teachers on campus are Dr. Martha Wolf and Dr. N. M. Jorgenson. Dr. Wolf is an outstanding teacher because of her teaching tech- niques and her thorough knowledge of the subject she teaches. It's a pleasure to be around Dr. Jorgen- son because he really enjoys teaching and has such a wonderful personal- ity. Generally we have good profes- sors here, but I think we should strive for a closer relationship between stu- dents and teachers. Some professors don't even know the students in their own departments For two years Lena has been active in the YWCA; last year she was a cabinet member. Busy as she is, she also works on the College Union Stu- ient Board and sings in the Women's Chorus. To teach in either North Carolina or Florida is this pert co-ed's ambi- tion. She is a member of both the Advancement for Childhood Educa- tion club and the Future Teachers of America. "I was just going to say here and work on my Master's Degree, but I've been to summer school for the past two summers in order to graduate a year early and I think I need a rest claimed Miss McLemore.

Sitting about midway up the balcony are two girls; Call them Sandra and Katherine. They are talking: Sandra: I have a lot to do tonight. I shouldn't even be here. But I love ballgame. Kathrine: Me too. Sandra: Oh, look. There's that boy I was telling you about. The one that talks so much in Spanish. Kathrine: Where? Sandra: There. See? Coming in the door. He talks through his nose. Kathrine: OhF yeah. Sandra: And look who he's with. Kathrine: Who is she? She's so cute. Sandra: I don't know. Look at that sweater- It's three sizes too small, I know. Kathrine: She's cute though. I've seen her before. Sartdara: I wonder why she goes with him? Kathrine: Maybe she likes him. Sandra: She probably talks through her nose, too. Katihrine; No she doesn't. I've seen her before. Had a class with her. Sandra: Who's winning? Kathrine: Ahhhhh We are. There's the scoreboard. Sandra: We've got such a good team. Look at Coach Porter. Kathrine: Who's number 17? Sandra: I don't know. They never tell you who goes into the game. All they do is tell you when somebody scores and we can see that already. Kathrine: There's that Herman character at the door. Sandra: Ugh! Kathrine: Did he ever ask you for another date? Sanidxa: No, but I wouldn't have dated him anyway. I think he's got a Mother complex. He held my hand in the movie and apologised when he go me to the dorm. He's sincere, though. Kathrine: Oh, look. The Coach's mad. Look. Sandra: It's all so funny to me. If you think about it, I mean. Look at everybody. The coaches are getting mad and the players are struggling so hard and everybody's all upset and all. It's really silly when you think about it. Kathrine: I know it. Look at num- Degrees Need Latin Phrases tin PURVIS BOYETTE ber 12's muscles. I'd hate to make him mad with mo. Sandra: There's Lulu. She said she had a date tonight. She's down there with t'at Morton girl. Hah-haaaaa. I can' wait to see her tomorrow. She's so phony. Katherine: All over, too. And the way she dresses it isn't hard to tell. I'd be embarrassed. Sandra: Me, too. Let's go get a drink. Kathrine: It isn't halftirae, yet. There's six minutes left. Sandra: Well (That boy over there keeps looking at us. That one two rows down. The green sweater theresee?) Kathrine: Yeah. I've noticed. Sandra: Do you know him? Kathrine: No, but he's cute. He needs a haircut though. But he's cute. Sandra: He is nice looking. Don't look at him; he's looking up here again. Kathrine: You know, I could use a cigarette. Sandra: Me, too. Is he still looking? Kathrine: TIgh-ugh. I wish halftime would comr. These benches are get- ting hard. During the past few years. East Carolina has in various ways sought to increase its prestige in the eyes of the genera! public as well as with ther institutions. Last year, after the suggestion of several students size of the diploma was increased. This v done primarily to distinguish our college di- plomas from those of the state high schools. Then came the radio station, and for this year, the much publicized attempt at estab- lishing a literary magazine. Fortunately. I is in the final stages. It has been suggested by several interr- ed individuals that the personal pride a gradu- ate takes in his diploma would be greatly in- creased if the latin terms cum laude, maana cum laude, and summa cum laude were inclu- ded on the diplomas of those students de- serving such distinction. According to Web- ster, cum laude is a term which indicates that the recipient has done work of a higher grade than the ordinary recipient. In short, with praise. The other two terms are pro- gressions upwardmayna cum laude. with great praise, and summa cum laude, with the highest praise. The motivation which would result from the promise of such a distinct is readily apparent. It is employed in many of the leading schools of our countryat Duke and even at c ur near-by neighbor and rival, Atlantic Christian. Boston University uses the same quality point evaluation scale as is used here. The Massachusetts school awards the cum laude distinction to those students who complete their college work with a qual- ity point average of "2 For those finishing with a q. pt. average of "2.5 magna cum laude is granted, and for a "2.8 the high- ly respected and rare summa cum laude be- comes the supreme distinction. This is. however, not a new idea at East Carolina. Three years ago, Dr. Messick be- came interested in the same thing and went so far as to request a report to be prepared. This went as far as the Board of Trustees, but for some reason, was never acted upon. One of the faculty members has stated that the administration has no objection or rul- ing that would prevent the establishment of such a practice. It seems to me that students other than those who are members of the honorary edu- cation fraternity, Kappa Delta Pi, should re- ceive distinction during the graduation ex- ercises. The members of this fraternity are privileged to wear a gold braid. I am inter- ested in knowing why this fraternity dis- tinction exists. If there is to be distinction for the deserving, then let it be for all de- serving and not for a small clique, or more politely stated, a fraternity. P Del To Walt ' v. WkJ fcd F ni fffUKiOAY.

He expects the Pirates to have another good year. The Pirates meet William and Mary Saturday in their last contest before the Christmas Holidays. East Carolina rung uy their third successive win Satuiday night by pouring on the coal in the second ha and blasting past Catawba 86-64 be- fore a capacity crowd in Memorial Gym. The win gave Coach Porter's young and inexperienced quintet first place in the early North State race with a 2-0 mark. For Catawba it was heir first loss in conference competition a'ter two straight wins. The Pirates started slow, bu' guard Jessel Curry hit a hot streak to wipe out an'early lead built u. by the Indians. Harold Ingram then took over the scoring load, sending t i locals to seven-point leads on two oc- casions. Woody Helfrich and Sonny layton cut the lead to three points at intermission, 36-33. Catawba moved into the lead for the final time in the opening minut s of the second half on two quick field goals to make the score 37-36. Joe Plaster, Ingram, and ike Riddick then went to work to push ECC out front for good. The Indians proved to be no mauv in the final half, scoring only 31 points to ECC's 50.

In a game that Coach Porter stated was probably the best ball game we have played so far, guards Jessel Curry and Ike Riddick captured 21 points each, Joe Plaster hit for 16 and Charlie Adams followed with 10. The victory put the Bucs in first place in the North State. Although Guy Mendenhall was on- ly credited with four points, Porter said that he played his best ball game of the year, being outstanding defence and rebounds.

Eight teams saw action Monday night and more teams are expected to en- ter before the deadline. Games this year will be played on Monday and Wednesday nights. Harry Archer, Intrs mural Director, stated that he was well -pleased with the interest shown thus far and ia looking forward to another success- ful season. Guard Jessel Curry shows defensive touch as Bucs blast Catawba. With the coming of winter the focus has turned to the hardwod sport and with good reason. Coach Howard Por- ter's crew has set a hot trail in the opening games, surprising all the ex- perts plus the team's followers. All will have to agree that Coach Porter has done an overnight job if hi young team continues its present play and winds u back in its fam- iliar position at he top. With the '57-58 slate, the Missouri native begins his eleventh season as head basketball coach. Since that time he has brought the Bucs up in North State basketball ame, winning the regular season title three of the last five years. Last year his club slipped down the ladder but s ill squeezed out a winning record in regular season flay. Although the Bucs have opened up strong, too much can not be an- ticipated at this stage of the season. Neither Guilford, Ca'awba, or Pheiffer will stack up to the foes ECC will have to face as the seaion progresses. Also, the Pira es haven't run up against a zone defense, their biggest road- blocker last season. Imports Help Porter has brought in several outsiders, adding to and molding what m'ght be a strong powerhouse. Jessel Curry and Don Smith are the two new boys figuring high in Por er's plans right now. Both drew starting nods and responded better than expected. Curry tops the Bucs in scoring after three gam's with a 18.3 mark. Smith, a "valuable team man" has a 9.0 average. Harold Ingram has been a big man in the Pirate a tack thus far and at this phase of the season gets our nod lor one of ECC's pre-season All- Conference candidates. The Wadesboro native has been acting Captain for the Bucs and has been a fine leader. Conference Weaker The North State shapes up to be weaker this season although com- petition should be keener with many teams in contention for the crown, now .vorn by Lenoir Rhyne. The Bears lost big Raeford Wells which definitely makes them a weaker club. Their chief rival, Elon, also has a flock of stars missing. Ed Jura'ic. Frank DeRita, and Dee Atkinson, all big men, have departed, leaving Don Mathis in a rebuilding stage. Western Carolina and High Point loom as the clubs most likely to take over the favorite's spot. Both clubs are loaded with veterans and had successful seasons last winter. The Cats are reported to have strengthened their cluib and have one of the best in the school's history. Arch-rival, Atlantic Christian, also felt the graduation load hard with big John Marley and Billy Widigon being their chief casualties. The Bulldogs have taken their lumps in early tilts but knowing McComas, the Wilson rivals will probably be strong by tournament time. Catawba could be tne sleeper among the bottom clubs. Guilford and Appalachian remain as the clubs to fight for the eightn tournament spot. Both are bound to be improved but should not climb unless a complete relat se by another club occurs. We feel the Pirates are definitely on the rise and will be in the thick of this year's race. Coach Por er has a young and inexperienced club and their "peak" may still be a year or so away. The Greensboro Daily News, headquarters of North State publi- city has picked Western Carolina, High Point, Lenoir Rhyne, and East Caro- lina as the chief challengers. Football Champ Lenoir Rhyne was declared football champion at the North State meeting last week after much discurs'on. Elon, the other team seeking the title, finslly proposed the motion which gave the Bears the title, their third straight. Elon, finishing the season with a 4-0 record, had not met the con- ference requirements by playing five games. Lenoir Rhyne had one defeat on their mark. After their 75-0 licking of Catawba, we feel that the Bears desirved the title. If the Christians were really seeking the crown, it seems that ar- rangements could be made to replay 'he games. The North State is still not as strong as it should be, and awarding Elon the title against conference regulations would seem to weaken the governing body. Last season, ECC went through the tennis season undefeated, but w as deprived of the crown because High Point postponed two matches, iea-ing ECC without enough to qualify. High Point was awarded the trophy. This is a minor srort but why should the principle be different? Elon did have the opportunity to re-echedule the games. Odds and Ends Congratulations to James Speight who placed on both All-Confer- ence teams (Greensboro Daily News and Winston Salem Journal) and also on the NAIA district club. Speight has an opportunity to become one of ECC's all-time athletes Catawba Coach Earl Ruth stated last Saturday that his two hardest games were with East Carolina and Western Carolina on their respective courts. He has never won a game in Memorial Gym and reports say that it must have been in the early days of Wright Auditorium (the former gjm) when he won a game at ECCFoot- ball is gone but not forgotten. The Bucs hit the practice field January 15 for Winter Practice .Coach Jack Boone has been a buy man lately. His work has just begun as he has started looking over next year's pros- pects Guilford, who refused to play us in football several years ago, has re-considered and may be on the 1958 schedule. Football Salute Here's a final word on the past football season. The Boonesmen can hold their heads up this winter as they won their .final game in Cinderella fashion, a pass in the final 12 seconds. One can forget the past when he completes a season as the Bucs did this one. They can thrive on their glory this winter and next year enter the season with a victory streak. Lee Atkinson, filling in for the injured James Speight, played a 1 tremendous role in the win and will probably make the Blue Hose's All- Opponent team with. ease. Lynn Bf.rnett, Ralph Zehring, Wayne Davis, and James Faircloth were the other heroes in the closing and dramatic victory.

Women's Chorus Prepares For Assembly By ROSEMARY EAGLES It's a known and respected fact that each of the twenty-nine seniors in the Department of Music is a lea- der in his own right. They're a little like any city's local Pour Hundred. : By demand' and by choice they have been thrust into the spotlight time and again. But they know per- haps better than anyone else how j practice makes almost perfection and how necessary those hours and hmrs of hard work are. Taknt may be God given, but it will be no hing until the "person sacri- fices and works to make the talent evident to others. Tbe celebrated twenty-nine have no time to let their talent rust. There are too many ex- tra-curricular activities. A person mu- sically inclined finds that he also has a special social obligation to fill. One boy has sung in so many weddings that he has acquired a large col- lection of cuff links and tie clasps, the usual gift from the groom. Problems There are problems too. Many stu- den b cast the spring productions in their minds before the real cast is announced. The big question is how can one possibly keep such seasoned performers as Dottie Jo James of j Wilmington and Barbara Harris of Beaufort from pulling hair when cast- ing time comes around? How can a less experienced student dare hope to get a-leading role?

Barbara Harris Soloist With Orchestra Sigma Pi Alpha Ann Mayo, recent distinguished graduate in the Foreign Language department, spoke at the November meeting of the Sigma .Pi Alpha fra- ternity. Now teaching at Edenton High School, she was the recipient of the A)AUW foreign study scholar- ship which enabled her to study at the Sorbonne and tour France this past summer. In her talk Miss Mayo said that the most impressive thing about France was the smallness and oldness of things. Speaking of the Sorbonne itself, she said there was no campus, just buildings. An international col- lege, about one-third of its student body was from the United States. An interesting custom noted was the fact that instead of locking the store doors Frenchmen just took the door knob off and walked home with it. Also, in France, they put their bread on the tablecloth. Library Club Library club members were issued their keys this past week. These keys are in silver and gold with a crest of black in the shape of a book with "Library Club" printed on it. They signify the work that the library club is doing and further en- courage the new members and li- brary science majors.
