They hold the higheat scholastic aver-

By being a first place winner in the
Homecoming float contest for the
past two years they have stirred in-
terest and competitive spirit in the
Homecoming Parade.
The fraternity brothers are re-
presented in most athletic functions,
and in many service fnd honorary fra-

Tanya Anderson and Dwight Smith
were recently selected Miss and Mr.
Future Teacher. Janet Hodges was
selected as an alternate for Miss
Future Teacher.
Several other seniors were eligible
for election. They were: Ann Johnson,
Ann Pleasants, Patricia Carolyn
Dunn, and Leslie Cole.
Tanya, a senior from Falkland has
served on many committees of the
NEA and also helped conduct var-
ious programs. Last year she at-
tended the state convention of the
Future Teachers Department of the
NICBA which was held in Wilmington.
She was not a member of an FTA
club in high school because her school
did not have a chapter. In addition
to ler work with the NEA, Tanya has
been active in other organizations on
the campus. She has been vice-presi-
dent of the "Y" and also a member
of the Inter-Religious Council. Proof
of the fact that her "outside" activi-
ties are not interferring with her
scholastic rating is made evident by
the fact that Tanya has been on the
honor roll nine times since enrolling
at East Carolina in 1954.
By ELNA CAULBERG
Tanya did her s'udent teaching in
English at Washington High School.
Dwight, Mr. Future Teacher, be-
gan his work early with a FTA club
f Fuquay Springs. He was a mem-
ber there from 1950 to 1954. He
sewed in the capacities of secretary,
vice-president, and song leader of the
Coun y Chapter. Also, he was chosen
as a representative to attend a FTA
Convention held in Raleigh.
When Dwight enrolled at East Caro-
lina in 1954, he also became a mam-
' er of the Robert H. Wright Chap-
T of the Future Teachers. Since
that time he has served on the float
decoration commi'tee and the program
committee. In 1955 he was elected
Assistant Treasurer.
Now teaching the seventh grade
at Greenville Junior High School,
Dwight made the following statement
about his future: "I plan to make
teaching my life career. I want to
teach the first few years and then
work my way to a principalship. I'm
not certain as to where I want to
teach. I plan to stay in North Caro-
lina the first few years or to make
this my permanent teaching area. I
have always been in'erested in the
t. aching rofession and 1 do not think
I would be happy doing anything else.
I think the real reason I want to
teach is that I love children and am
in erested in children
Janet Hodges, alternate for Miss
Future Teacher, began her NEA work
early also by being a charter member
of the FTA Club at Sanford Central
High School.
Having been a member of the NEA
for five months, Janet, has not had
t1 e opportunity to serve in any of-
fie s. She has, however, given her
support in other ways.
Janet's list of college honors seem
to go on endlesslya few of them
are: 'Recently, she was chosen to
"Who's Who Among Students in
American Colleges and Universities;
she was treasurer of her sophomore
class; she was chairman of the Stu-
dent Handbook Committee; and at
the present time she is a marshal and
chief cheerleader. Janet has made the
Dean's List one time since enrolling
at East Carolina in 1955 and has
been on the honor roll for five quart

Dreamers Play
Semi-Formal
By KATHRYN JOHNSON
As co-sponsors, the Pi Omega Pi
national honorary business fraterni-
ty and the Future Business Leaders
of America club will present the
annual Valentine Dance tomorrow
night in Wright Auditorium. High-
lighting this semi-formal affair will
be crowning of the King and Queen
af Hearts, selected from students
in the Business Department.
Each of the two sponsoring organi-
zations nominated thiee couples to
run for king and queen. A: pre-
:t gistration numbers,of the Business
Department voted on the twelve can-
didates; however, the winner will
not be disclosed until their crowning
at the dance Saturday night. The
other ten nominees will serve as the
court for the King and Queen of
Hearts.
Vieing for this honor are Pi Omega
Pi candidates Bee Mendenhall, Lor-
tta Stone, Lou Lewis, Council Jar-
man, Charles Rhode, and James
Cherry.
Nominated by the FBLA are Nan
Forrest, Pat Sherin, Gayle Davenport,
Earl Souls. Eddie Keel, and George
Knight. All of th? nominees are
business majors.
A typical red and white valentine
motif will be carried out in the de-
coration of the auditorium. Creating

white heart will be suspended from
the center of the streamer-covered
ceiling. In charge of decorations is
Jimmy Wall of FBLA. Oliver Will-
iams and I. K. Williamson are Pi Ome-
ga Pi co-k'hairman in charge of
planning.
About the dance Oliver Williams
commented, "Last year our dance was
perhaps the largest dance as far as
attendance is concerned. The busi-
ness students all take much pride in
presenting the Valentine Dance every
year. We do not think that the suc-
cess of the dance lies entirely in the
face that the Business Department
presents it, hut mainly because we
have such an opportune time for its
presentationFebruary 14. At Vale-
ntine everyone seems to warn a sweet-
heart and a good dance
Playing for the dance, which will
cost a dollar per couple and last
from eight to eleven forty-five o'clock,
will be the Dreamers, a well-known
campus group.
Over-all faculty advisor for the
dance is Miss Gwendolyn Potter, a
new member of the Business Depart-
ment. Chaperones will be Miss Lena
C. Ellis, Dr. Audrey D. Dempsey,
Miss Gwendolyn Potter, and Miss Jane
White, all of the Business Depart-
ment.

Smoking Upstairs
A d mocracy has, its advantages and its
disadvantages: At the Dave Brubeck enter-
tainment. a number of students sitting up-
stairs in the balcony felt the informality of
the event and proceeded to light up cigarettes.
It's possible that some were not aware that
theie were No Smoking signs on each side
of the balcony railing. However, some of the
marshals a tempted to do their duty and to
remind the students that smoking is not per-
mitted. The uncourteous rebuffs met by them
reminds us that individuals will abuse their
privileges without thinkingthat each in-
dividual smoking could have been the insti-
gator of a headline in the paper the next
day: THREE THOUSAND STUDENTS

On Raising Fee
Students no doubt feel that the proposed
tituti rial amendment by SGA treasurer
concerning the raising of the ac-
ity fee from eleven to thirteen dollars calls
I i some explanation, especially in view of
the tuiti i! fee increase being frowned upon
the administration (but increased never-
theless).
Patterson explained that this year several
zations which requested funds from
SGA budget went lacking and others
found their requests cut. the problem being
enough money to go around. This year
even mor organizations have been added
th SGA and will have to be considered
when the time rolls around to alloting money.
Another point which he brought up con-
cerns the Athletic Fund, which receives 45
per cent of the Activity Fee. This total of six
additional dollars to the Activity Fee per
ident will mean that athletics will receive
re money for scholarships and better
equipment. We will be able to provide a better
offer to sports-minded young men interested
in improving our athletic record. The treas-
urer pointed out that he was not criticizing
the present set-up. but rather interested in
improving it.
Hitting the pocketbook will always be
a tender point. Yet it seems to be a common
thing among colleges these days in raising
this particular fee. It's up to the student
hotly to decide whether the expected results
will justify the means.

I'm All For
Valentine's Bay
The more cynical members of our
society will probably laugh when I
: v that Valentine's Day is one of
myry favorite "special occasions
and calls forth my imagination in
picking out cards to suit the friend.
In his modern day, one can really
find all types and sentiments ex-
pressed, even to the weird "contem-
P-ar !." t at especially provoke my
sense of humor.
But back to the thoughtI think
it's wonderful that there's a special
day s t aside to commemorate love
and friendshipand, oh, yes, senti-
mentality, in our coldly scientific
world.
Know how this "day of love" came
to be on your calendars? Well, a
Human priest, Valentine, Bishop of
Sioleto, preached that love is a good
enough basis for marriagenot
money, or -ocial advancement. The
goad Bishop was beheaded on Febru-
ary 14, 270 A. D. for refusing to re-
nounce Christianity. His farewell
message to his friend, the jailer's
daughter, was signed "From your
Valentine and this message is con-
sidered the first Valentine.
Ancient Romans gave cupid a help-
ing and with "Lovers' Lotteries
Young iover.s drew names from an urn
tti learn who their "beloved-of-the-
year" would be. Thest were the orig-
inal "blind dates This festivity came
to b known as Valentine's Day.
Aiding to the romantic flavor dur-
ing the 14.h and 15th Centuries there
was a growing belief that birds mated
on February 14.
Later Shakespeare gave popular
recognition to St. Valentine's Day
and further popularized it.
The Valentine custom spread to
America during the Revolutionary
War and reached its peak in the
1880's.
In the last few years, the custom
of sending Valentines has become
more and more popular in America.
But. today, the sentimental send Val-
entines not only to their favorite
of the opposite sex, but also to family
ami friends. It's become a very special
day for telling folks how much we
like them.
In keeping with this thought, the
"proper care and consideration" of
friends comes up. So once again we
rtuote a few peoj.le who "got there
first" with some good beliefs.
Samuel Johnson said, "If a man
does not make new acquaintances as
lu- advances through life, he will soon
find himself alone. A man should
keep his friendships in constant re-
pair. To let friendship die away
by negligence and silence is certainly
not wise. It is voluntarily to throw
away one of the greatest comforts
of this weary pilgrimage
Henry Ward Beecher said, "Do
not keep the alabaster boxes of your
love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill their lives
with sweetness. Seap approving,
cheering words while their ears can
hear them and while their hearts can
be thrilled by them
A fine minister, Phillips Brooks,
once preached a sermon saying, You
who are letting miserable misunder-
standings run on from year to year,
meaning to clear them up some day;
you who are keeping wretched quar-
rels alive because you cannot quite
make up your mind that now is the
day to sacrifice your pride and kill
them; you who are passing men sul-
lenly upon the street, not speaking
to them out of some silly spite, and
yet knowing that it would fill you
with shame and remorse if you
heard that one of those men were
dead tomorrow morning; or letting
your friend's heart ache for a word
of appreciation or sympathy, which
you mean to give him someday; If
you could only know and see and feel,
all of a sudden, that "The time is

We were very happy to receive
so many congratulatory comments

Although it's been over a week
since the Dave Brubeck concert, we
feel that we must comment on how
good it was and how well it was re-
ceived. We've always wondered what
it would take to excite the students of
East Carolina and now we've found
outjazz! We were delighted to see
a colored entertainer on the stage,
so we made it our business to talk
with Mr. James Butler, chairman of
the En'ertainment Committee, and
Dr. John Messick, president of the
college, to ascertain whether this
would set a precedent for the future.
We were informed that college of-
ficials were not aware of the fact
that t'rere was a negro in the quartet
ntil a few hours before the concert.
Although there is nothing in the
college charter directly pertaining to
this mater, the decision is up to the
Board of Trustees as to future color-
ed entertainment. Mr. Butler talked at
length about the quality of the Board
and stated that the trustees are
"forward thinking and way ahead
and Dr. Messick assured us that he
would bring the matter to the at-
tention of the Board at the Febru-
ary 25 meeting. We are looking for-
ward with interest to the results of
this meeting. As we stated in a pre-
vious column, it seems somewhat of
a paradox that Louis Armstrong,
who has toured the world as a good
will ambassador and won many
friends for our democratic way of life,
was not allowed to perform here.
One of our most talented art stu-
dents, Let tie De Loach, is holding
hr Senior Exhibit on the second floor
of Austin. This exhibit is well worth
a spcial visit. The majority of the
oil paintings shown are extremely
well executed, and several ar ex-

Wanderings
By MARTHA WILSON
Not since the fall of 1965 had the
campus been so thoroughly aired out.
Nine o'clock was the zero hourthe
hour the "upright" members of the
Women's Judiciary silently moved
into OsHion one recent Tuesday night.
Armed with flashlights and some of-
ficial-looking form sheets, they began
their vigil at the door3 of the library
and the College Union. Like lightning,
the word was flashed along Co-Ed
RowCampus Check!
The local boys really got a kick
out of the whole thing. With one guy
huddled in the front seat under a
coat or a blanket, the car would come
roaring to a halt at the gate. It was
awfully funny to them when their
"date" was discoveredor when they
would pull out their flashlights and
shine them right back through the
windowor when they would wail in
a high voice that they forgot to sign
out.
To some of the girls things weren't
quite that funny. Girls who had no
tiding privilege because their average
was below a "3" came riding in with
a boy friendand paled. Girls who
had neglected to sign out when they
had all piled into the car for burgers
and Pepsies out at the Drive In came
riding backand suddenly developed
indigestion.
But they tried: "I'm not with him
he's just carrying my books or
"I'm a day student, see and "Yes,
I said my name is Rita Hayworth
or, like the li; stick-smeared couple
coming in from the direction of
Green Springs, "We've been to the
01d Towne Inn '
The unlucky onesthe ones who
were breaking colleges rules and re-
gulations as set up in the Constitu-
tion of the SGAwere summoned to
appear before the Women's Judiciary.
And all was normal once more.
Again the campus loomed empty
and quiet on the weekends. The boys
sweated and strained on the basketball
court, and few hiked down to the gym.
The Entertainment Series brought
some outstanding, famous personality
to the cam-pus, and everybody went
to the show. The clubs kept on meet-
ing and staging huge membership
drives, and the people played cards
feverishly. The SGA met and passed
some new rules and sponsored some
new events, and nobody cared.
As compared to their fathers and
grandfathers, today's college student
might seem to lack interest in col-
legiate activity and in continuing his
school tradition. Is this modern schol-
ar a humorless, apathetic cog in a
lifeless cycle? Is he a quiet, mature
individual who looks down his classic
nose at the flamboyance and exhibi-
tionism of the "do or die for dear ol'
Dartmouth type?
The student of yesteiyear was like-
ly to believe that the honor of his
school wag being fought on the ath-
lete field. And with his long racoon
coat to wear and his college banner
to wave, he noisily demonstrated how
much he loved his dear ol' halls of ivy.
But this is a now generation of
education-seekers. And this is a now
world of science. Eyes that once looked
straight ahead now are directed up-
ward. The earth people need more
elbow room.

Power Of Speech
And Press
By PAT HARVEY
I HAVE A SAD STORY TO TELL . .
There have been several unflattering com-
ments concerning Miss Harvey's review on
"Teahouse of the August Moon I would
consider it a privilege and an honor to verify
these accusations.
Firstly, some kind students are upset over
my remarks concerning the noted Mr. Rock-
wood. Undoubtedly, these impulsive souls
didn't understand my intentions. I was defi-
nitely not ondemming Jerry nor was I obli-
i us of the fact, that he was the star. He
w is by far the better actor and performer.
But East Carolina is not particularly con-
cerned with his prestige. They are mainly
interested in the talents of their friends,
who need all kinds of publicity to build up
their confidences and ego. The playhouse
consists of amateurs either working for the
fun of it as a hobby or for a future
career as their profession. So I would like
to state that I was not trying to belittle Mr.
Roekwood's talents, only spotlight Ea:
Carolina's.
I do hope everyone realizes that the re-
view was written by only one person a
student's opiniqn. I do not consider myself
a noted authority on the theatre. I have
witnessed quite a few Broadway shows and
am very much interested in this phase of
writing, but the fact remains that I am only
an amateur.
I am quite sure that these little "cuts"
would n t have arisen if the review had
built up every cctor or actress. as threats to
Kathryn Cornell or Laurence Oliver. A critic's
review is made up of the good and bad points
of a play or movie . . . keep that in your sub-
conscious.
If an actor or an actress has gotten him-
self in a tizzy over a little review by an un-
known, he is merely proving how gullible and
impestuous one can be. If he gets that upset
over this review, he will probably commit
suicide when TIME- or NEWSWEEK prints
a message saying his latest piay is not up
to par . . . that is if any of our actors ever
make this grade and I hope they will.
I hope that I havs redeemed myself and
for the rest of the year, I will be able to
walk around campus without naving people
whispering behind my back or glaring
me as if I had leprosy. Just kidding, actually
the situation isn't quite that extreme; but
as one could note by the review I love to
build up everything . . . glorifier.

Works, South Bend, Indiana, and
Kirk H. Stirling and Dick Stratton
of the Lincoln Electric Co Charlotte,
N. C.
Mr. Gurgens brought with him a
trailer equipped to show and demon-
strate a number of the latest machine
tools. He displayed machine lathes
from 9 to 16 inches in size and with
many of the most modern attach-
ments. Demonstrations were given
of milling machines, drill presses,
grinders, and other metal working
equipment.
Mr. Stirling and Mr. Stratton con-
ducted a welding clinic which was at-
tended by 62 students and off-cam-
! us guests. Discussion included the
history of welding, types of elect-
rodes, and various types of welding
by means of electricity. Several of
the newer types of welding were
demonstrated.
Arrangements for these meetings

Ragsdale.Hall should be interested
in the following news it has an
ex-member of the Women's Air Force
on the first floor. Harriet Lee Maher
of South Norfolk, Virginia spent three
years in this branch of the service.
Actually she was stationed at Lack-
land Air Force base in San Antonio,
Texas; but she wasn't there enough to
call it her home. Not many of East
Carolina's students can say that they
have visited 36 of our states. Harriet,
who, incidentally, was Virginia'3 only
member, played saxophone and drums
for the 45-piece U. S. WAF Band.
This little item accounts for most of
her travel. Besides appearing in most
of the United States, she also visited
Alaska, Puerto Rico, and Mexico. Har-
riet's picture with the band has been
"splashed" all over newspapers and
magazines.
While in the band she played saxo-
phone in concerts and drums in the
parades. The band was on TV shows,
"It Could be You" and "I've Got a
Secret played at Rockfeller Plaza
in New York, and also at the Minne-
appolis Acquatennial, the celebrated
Seafair in Seattle, Washington.
Undoubtedly, there is no end to Miss
Maher's musical talents because she
was also one of the bell ringers. This
little group played at concerts, gradu-
ations, and TV shows: but they were
more in demand at Christmas.
One of her most memorable exper-
iences was playing at President Eisen-
hower's inauguration. They also had
a whirl of guest turns in connection
with Wyoming's national famous festi-
val, Frontier Days
Quite a few honors have been placed
in the hands of Miss Maher. Due to
the. fact that the band traveled by
plane and were always equipped with
parachutes, she was required to learn
the parachute jump. She is one of the
few women to hold a "Parachute Jump
Tower Certificates When she flew
to Alaska, Harriet received a certifi-

Air Force Needs
Trained Experts
"The Air Force is interested in ob-

desire sound, technical training in
electronics, aircraft maintenance, au-

meteorology and many other trained
specialties according to Sergeant
Dean, in charge of the U. S. Air
Force Recruiting Office located in the
Post Office, Greenville, N. C.
One of the biggest Air Force prob-
lems is that major industries and
business establishments are constantly
seeking Air Force trained experts
in many of thea- technical fields. The
Sergeant emphasized that this is a
chance for young men who can quali-
fy to get what amounts to an ad-
vanced education in some specialized
field.

WRA Basketball
By PEGGY DAVIS
In the second round of the WRA
Basketball Tournament the Cotten
earn walked off with a win in the
7.00 game from the Campustrotters,
after some close scores, breaking away
in the last quarter to win by 54-38.
High scorer for Cotten was Janice
Edwards with 26 points while Clau-
dine Hodges hit 21 for the Campus-
trotters.
The Jarvis Blue Birds continued
a winning streak by squeezing past
the Gairett Blueknights by a score
of 31 3U.
The tw. teams, stayed neck and
deck the whole game, although the
Blueknights were ahead twice by six
points. In the final quarter, how-
ever, the Bluebirds hit two field goals
and a free shot to put them ahead

Big Favorites
East Carolina's swimming teami-1 a st T?rr
closed out its current season withp18tlMIS HOSt HjCC
a narrow loss at the hands of visit-(Saturday; BUCS
ing Georgia University by a margin
of 44 to 42. The event took place
in Memorial gymnasium last Satur-
day.
Although outscored, the Bucs iad
four big men in the number one
bracket as far as placing goes. It
was Sid Oliver that copped two first
places and garnered 10 big points
as well. He won the breast stroke
and butter fly event. Bob Sawyer
came through with his usual fine per-
formance in that he emerged with
the number one spot in his coveted
back stroke event. Ken Midgette
was .second in the scoring honors as
far as points went for East Carolina.
Midgette netted himself eight points
for his diving efforts. Tom Tucker
was the other Pirate to win a first
plaee o he won the 100 yard "free
style. EC also took a first in the med-
ley relay. The team was composed
at Bob Sawyer, Sid Oliver, Ted Gart-
man and Mike Williamson.
In reviewing the 1957-58 season it
must be remembered that although
East Carolina's swimming squad had
a limited schedule as far as team
opponents in numbers go, each team
played was a major power either in
their own conference or in the na-
tion. The University of North Caro-
lina ranks as one of the top swim-
ming colleges in the United States
and they beat the Bucs by only a
close margin. VMI of the southern
onferene is a sure bet to emerge
on top of their conference in swim-
ming again this year. They too did
anything but run roughshod over the
Pirate Squad. Now in the final meet
of the year Georgia has topped the
Pirate team as well but again the
sound of the word "lost" does not
tell t: e entire story. Georgia should
win the South Eastern Conference
this year and EC team members have
nothing to be ashamed of in the fact
that such a team as this and the other
two have won over them during the
past season.
Swimming Coach Dr. Charles De
Shaw summed up the close of the
season by stating that "We had a
very limited, but rigorous schedule
this year and perhaps what hurt us
t: e most was lack of depth in the
free-style events, as we lost quite a
few boys in those departments last
year. I was very pleased with the
showing the fellows made this year,
and they, as I, realize that the actual
scores do not show the progress that
we feel we made this year
T e Pirates have a young squad
and are already looking forward to
next season in hopes that they can
come up with a little more depth
and again emerge as the NAIA
champions that they were last year.

After more than a weeks rest,
Coach Howard Porter's Pirate bas-
ketball aggregation journey to Bur-
ling on, North Carolina this Satur-
day w ere they will encounter Elon's
Christians in another North State
Conference clash. Elon, no doubt,
will be out to avenge the loss suffered
by them at the hands of East Caro-
lina earlier in the reason. EC, on
the other hand, will not only be try-
ing to climb back into third place in
Ce NSC standings but will try to
continue their offensive surge. They
lead the conference in the total num-
ber of points scored and place 9th
in the national NAIA total basket-
ball scoring column with an average
of 83.8 points per game. It is un-
usual that the Bucs should be so
high in the total scoring .bracket when
they have no one near the 20 point
mark as far as game averaging goes.
Depth and team work account for the
pre.sent rating. Jessel Curry, a soph-
omore from Portsmouth, Virginia,
leads the team in the scoring parade
with an unofficial average of 16 points
per game. Then come Don Smith, Ike
Riddick, Harold Ingram and Joe Plas-
ter. All are in the double figure
bracket. Charlie Adams could break
into the double figures if he contin-
ues to lit as he has the last few-
games.
Elon Has Height
Wi h the height of men like Frank
DeRita . and the scoring punch of
men like Gilbert Watts, Elon could
prove quite troublesome to Pirate
plans. Coach Porter will combat
Klon's height wttfc a couple of men
that are quite tall themselves. Guy
Mendenhall, Joe Plaster, and Don
Smith all average out to about 6 feet
6 inches tall. Smith will work at his
usual forward position while Menden-
I all and Plaster will hold down the
center slot. Jessel Curry, Ike Rid-
boys have been a coup
of stalwarts on East Carolina's bas-
ketball club this season. Don Smith
(upper) is a freshman and has hit
his prim during the past month.
Harold Ingram (lower) has been a
consistent performer and looms as
a All-Conference nominee.
dick and Charlie Adams will take care
of the guard positions. Captain Har-
old Ingram is the other forward.
East Carolina could possibly slip
into the number three spot in North
State Standings if they defeat Elon
on Saturday and High Point next
Wednesday night. This would give
them a record of 9 wins against 6
losses, provided they won over Ca-
tawba last night. It would also rate
them as possible favorites to win the
North State Tournament coming up
soon. A win over Elon and High Point
will also prove that the Buc team
can come back strong. Due to three
forfeits, they at one time held a rec-
ord of 3 wins against 6 big losses.
Coach Howard Porter talk- strategy with his club before taxing the floor
1 he Buck will be favored over Elon Saturday night.
Bucs Romp Rivals
East Carolina rode to their third
straight victory and twelth of the
season last Thursday by blasting At-
lantic Christian 69-51 at Rocky Mount.
The big arch-rivals battled on even
terms for only a short time as Joe
Plaster, 6-8 center, and Don Smith,
a 6-5 forward, took over both back-
boards to pace the Bucs to their
sixth conference win of the season
and their first over ACC at Rocky
Mount in three years.
Smith, the smooth-working fresh-
man dropped in 15 points along with
Harold Ingram to pace the Pirates
well-rounded scoring attack. Jessel
Curry, Charlie Adams, and Ike Rid-
dick also hit in double figures for
the winners.
