She was the first East Carolina alumna to hold the Ph. D. degree. Because of her achievements as an educator and her loyalty to the col- lege, .she was selected as th first recipient of the annual award which ' a been given to an outstanding graduate by the East Carolina Alum- ni association each year since 1940. During the time when she was a student at the Training School, Dr. Dowell was a resident of Raleigh. Her father was the Rev. George J. Dowell. She helped organize the Ra- leigh Chapter of the East Carolina Alumni Association. Dr. Dowell has taught and done supervisory work in public schools. She was for several years associate irofessor of education at Winthrop College, Rock Hill, Sou'h Carolina. Since 1948 she has been a faculty member at Mississippi Southern. In "East Carolina's Spade: To Serve the anniversary pageant, Dr. Dowell will take part in scenes based on the organization of the college Alumnae Association in June, 1911 and on the graduation of the students in the early years of the school, and in a scene introducing the eighteen recipients of the Alumni Award. Here are some of the highlighting scenes from the pageant to be pre- sented at ECC on May 3 and 4. Fishing pole in hand, barefooted, a youngster passes by a well-dressed gentleman who is digging with a shovel. Not realizing that the man is the governor of North Carolina and that he is witnessing the ground- breaking ceremonies for East Caro- lina College, the boy asks for fish- ing worms. Athletics, their development, are of the first faculty, the first girl to regiser, the first man to obtain a degree, a former editor of the East Carolinian, and other ECC affiliates of by-gone days will be presented in a dramatic closing scene.

This procedure is being followed primarily in order to ascer- tain the correct mailing address of each upper classman. One invitation is all that will be neccessary for each couple. Invitations will be mailed only to those students who register on the specified dates. As this is an invitation dance, no one will be admitted unless the in- vitation is presented at the door.

Mike Uzzle, The World University Service is a program dedicated to provide mean3 through which university men and women can combine their efforts to help where needs are greatest. It had its roots in European Student Relief, which was established in 1920 to meet urgent material needs among univer- sity students caused by the First World War. The Service seeks to provide help in various ways: where textbooks are rare and expensive, WUS provides printing equipment; it builds preventive health clinics and student medical centers. Mr. Marion has worked both with the World University Service and the YM and YWCA. While in Occidental College he was active in WUS; while doing graduate work at Columbia he was a special agent for the National Student YM and YWCA; and has done much conference work in En- rope with the WUS. As executive sponsor for the cam- paign for WUS the "Y" is planning a general discussion pertaining to WUS in the "Y" Hut Sunday night, April 20, at 8:00 p.m. with Mr. Mm- ion as speaker; and on Monday he will visit in several classrooms. No- tices will be posted concerning th ime of these visits. The "Y" urges other organizations on campus to back the WUS cam- paign. Usually the SGA on each cam- pus initiates a drive for this cause; however, fraternities and other or- ganizations have backed it also. The "Four Freshmen" were sponsored by the Inter-fraternity Council of State College with the benefits going for WUS. 'Clean-Up' Week Now Underway "Clean-Up" week, sponsored by the Circle K Club and supported by the Student Government Association, is being conducted this week at EOC. All students are urged to unite in tr is endeavor to beautify and "clean- ify" their campus. Circle K members are carryfhg blue and yellow trash cans as reminders to the students that trash should be deposited in the proper receptacles rather than thrown on the ground.

For teacbJ ative Pierc that i M to v ative B"W Murderers Of The King's English' By KATHRYttiJVHNSON "I come up here yesterday, but you won't in I seen him about the story These re- marks came from a girl who is a senior pre- paring to teach fcigh .scboorEnglish. This young lady is not prepared to teach in any level of school; she should never even have been presented a high school diploma. Any- one who can not speak the English language certainly should not graduate from high school. People are complaining that the high school diploma has been devaluated to the point of meaninglessness. Bernard Leibson, principal t a high school in New York City, recently admitted that while signing diplo- mas he suffers great pangs of pedagogical conscience. Although Johnny cannot read above the tilth-grade level and Mary has barely mastered the arithmetic fundamentals, 1 have witn the connivance of the duly con- stituted authorities helped to perpetuate the fiction that John and Mary have completed the course f study with a satisfactory rec- ord Maybe these "murderers of the king's English" who sound as if they're from "Low- er Slobovia" were allowed to pass through twelve trades without learning to write or speak correctly because educators have-learned that John Dowey was right, that one's per- sonality may V injured if he is "kept back (Or could it be that they have found it is perhaps less injurious to all concerned to let the dullards progress through the grades with then contemporaries than to take a chance on their disrupting classes of younger children?) Studies show that high students are plain ignorant of things grammar school students uld hav known a generate n ago. Years of barren discussion courses in English have made a whole generation chronically inco- herent in the English language. The Ad- vanced Grammar book used on the campus all hut approves vulgaie English. (This does not refer merely to slang.) It seems that if a student in high school is very poor in English that he would be re- quired to take remedial courses in place of such electives as shop, cooking, safe driving, or athletic courses, especially if he plans to ent college. But if the elementary grades and the high school fails to perform one of its most important tasks then this job falls to the . . Would it not be of more import- le if in college future Teachers of English equi d to learn more about their sub- - instead of taking the compulsory educa- tion courses in how to teach them. Anyone who uses incorrect English should not be al- lowed to pass any course in English, especial- ly Voice and Diction. These students are the people who will teach our language to a fu- ture generation f Americans. Schools have been criticized for not de- veloping scientific minds or great mathema- ticians. Few students will be future Van- guard builders or future Einsteins; not every student can pass chemistry or physics, but every student is capable of. and should be taught to speak coherent English.

Nor all your tears wash out a word of it translated by E. Fitxgerald. Editorially Speaking By KATHRYN JOHNSON Everything surely has been quiet around here these past few days with the "boss" gone. Our editor Jan Raby has been at home recuperating from a tonsillectomy. The late James Dean's father, who is rtally his uncle and foster father, was in town for a few days to attend the funeral of a relative. Folks real- ly enjoyed hearing him talk about his world famous son. Dumb me . . I didn't even get excited a bitthought he was the father of Jimmy Dean the hillbilly singer. Well, I finally saw B. B. (Body Beautiful, otherwise known as Brig- itte Bardot). The advertisement that said, "God created woman, but the devil created Drigitte- Bardot sure- ly was right. Critics always aelaim the fine art of foreign films and the ability of foreign movie stars. Frank- ly, any pretty girl found right around tesre could wiggle out of her clothes just as deftly as Miss Bardot did all through the picture. The only thing good about that picture ("The Light Across the Street") was that it was very cheap to make, the wardrobe department especially spent little money; no underwear or buttons re- quired. Have you read Lana's torrid love letters? Boy, she must have taken a creative writing course; they were masterpieces. But then these Holly- wood "husband-traders" are skilled in so many things. Hear Jimmy Meade will be back in school next year. Know the swimming team will be glad! He's been in Cali- fornia with his family. The critics at Carolina really cut and slashed Margaret Starnes' per- formance in the Playmakers' recent production of Arther Miller's "View from the Bridge Margaret used to he the Queen Bee in Playhouse productions here before she trans- ferred to UNC. Ronita Respess and Gene Van can really cha cha. Ronita is a Lolli- brigida-tyre beauty who was Miss Creenville this year. I hear that at a night club in Washington, D. C. every- one cleared the dance floor to watch them. Afterwards the band leader asked for a repeat performance. Quit:? a few students, including myself have caught a rare tropical disease for some unknown reason tailed measles. Poor Genia Trulove had the measles and suddenly had to have hat appendix removed at the same time. Don't you think Dr. Stritch of .the Psychology Department ought to be an actor? Of course we're glad that he's not, since we'd surely miss him around. The SGA elections have been over quite a while, but I keep thinking how much I missed all the hot cam- paigning of the last year, Eddie Dennis-Jimmy Phelps contest. Boy, now that was a "real election Wonder why someone in our For- eign Language Department did not apply to be N. Cs delegate to the Brussel's World Fair? Any good stu- dent who could speak French was eligible. There are so many chances for students to study abroad . . Don't know why more people don't apply for the numerous scholarships available. Not long ago many boys were sporting beards which they were sprouting -for the annual Pirate Jam- boree at Nagshead. Either they couldn't stand the sight of themselves or their girl friends didn't like getting scratched, because I've noticed that most boys are back to their normal clean-shaven state. Guess everybody has about rested-up from the Aza- lea Festival and will head on down t Nagshead to play pirate. Those of you who go be sure to attend the EPO dance; it will prove, to be quite a party! By the way Esther said to tell you boys to stay out of her pool! Its only a sample. Looking around in church Sunday I saw so-o many soggy-looking or- chids. They must Tiave been left over from Easter. Speaking of church . . . if you are a Methodist be sure to at- tend a service in our newly remodeled thousand seater sanctuary. It's really beautiful. When the Methodist Stu- dent Center is finished it'll be one of the finest in the nation. Look at it on your way to ie O.T.I. A bunch of girls were discussing wl o the best looking male was. Some- one liked the suave debonair good looks of Derry Walker, another the fine features of Myron Ted, but pomeone kept insisting that Pate Brennan was tops. Wonder why Dr. Pasti keeps study- ing at the library . . . he's smart enough already. I never knew what athletes had to go through until I heard some of Coach Earl Smith's "game stories Seen at Heath's . . . some poor eoul bemoaning the fact that he had just spent his last cent on a pitcher of "suds Really was sad. like this cr s MM M cuts our fi PAl) p Y Lines From Letters Telescope To the Editor: I was very disturbed to read that several of the major candidates were unopposed in the recent campus elec- tions. I realize that the ones who were unopposed are apparently very po- ular students and perhaps others felt that they would have no chance of b ing elected over such popular op- ponents, but if fok no other reason ihan good sportsmanship, to create more interest, or just because it is customary, I certainly hope someone will I ave what it takes to run against each candidate in the next elections. I definitely don't mean to infer that those who were unopposed are not qualified individuals and would not have been chosen over opponents. I'm sure they are "tops" for their posi- tion Even though anyone had the right and freedom to run I was still re- minded of an article I read recently. Moscow wa.s announcing that the free people of the USSR were having their democratic :lection. There wa.s only one peculiar thing about this Each office I ad only one candidate which was chosen by the heads of the com- munist party Let's exercise our right and freedom. Thanks, Jim Ratledge 1951 ECC graduate To the Editor: We, as Playhouse members, want to publicly denounce the action taken at last Monday night's meeting. Dan Yanchinsin moved that the Play- house invoke the clause in the Consti- tution staling that the retention or dismissal of the faculty advisor is left to the discretion of the students. A majority vote is necessary. There are forty-seven members in the Play- house, and twenty-three were present at the meeting. Thirteen of these voted to dismiss Dr. Withey and ten vottd to keep him. Thirteen Ls not a majority; therefore this action should be declared void. It was a very under- handed trick and dirty politics, be- cause only certain members who want a new advisor were aware that the matter would lie brought up. These members were present but a great, number of students did "not know and were not present. Regard- less of the fact that this was a regu- lar meeting, there should have been an announcement that business of this nature would be tnken up. The mem- bers responsible for this, including the ; resident of the organization, Pat Bakes did not, even ste fit to inform Dr. Withey. T- ere was a great deal of contro- versy among those present as to the legality of the move, and when some- one asked for a list of grievances against Dr. Withey, Tommy Hull, chairman of the Grievance Commit- tee, wa.s unable to present a list of charges other than there is dissen- sion in the Playhouse. THIS IS VERY TRUE! However, this dissen- sion is caused not by Dr. Withey but by a certain clique within the group. These students, with their affected accents, more talented at off-stage acting than on, delight in playing "Hollywood" and "New York Being 'artists" with vast ex- perience in the theater, they presume to know more than a Ph.D. who haa given tirelessly of his time and ener- gy to dramatic efforts on this cam- pus. The great majority of members sincerely regret the manner in whkh thismatter was handled. It was high- ly unethical and uncalled-for. If the Playhouse even pretends to be a dem- ocratic organization, there will be a re-vote. (Names withheld by request) The Grotesqueness Of Realism By BOB DR. BRADNER spoke to my Ethi- cal Theories class last Wednesday uijjht. His lecture was excellent. No one went to sleep. He talked on and on. He talked about Relativism, Tele- vision, Alfred Schweitzer, and the Gold Coast. He talked about the He- brews, secretaries, neurotics, tran- quilizers and sex. And then he finally tfof around to the Atomic Bomb. He began to ex; lain how deadly the blast would be if it hit our city. He said the dust particles from the mushroom cloud would fall on us for miles and miles from the explosion. This wa3 too much for the girl sitting next to me. She began to regurgitate freely. Then sh. fainted and slumped at her desk Her face was white, and getting whiter. I ran down stairs looking for help. I checned the Math depart- ment. I checked the AFROTC rooms. I checked the ceramics department. It was in this department that I found a woman from the Physical Ed de- partment. The woman was making a pot. I explained the situation to her and we went upstairs. The Physical Ed woman pulled the sick girl out of the d.sk and placed her on the floor with three cories of Life raagasine under her head and eight copies of "U. S. Business and World Report" under her back. Her feet were placed in the seat of another desk. The girl was a little off balance but I could see an improvement in the eolor of her HARPER face when one of the still excited students started fanning her with a copy of "Time A local doctor came, checked the girl and advised that she be admitted to the campus infirmary. On my way home I kept think- ing about that Atomic blast and dust fall-out. I began to get sick on my somach. As I passed the administration building Monday I noticed that a con- struction pary was "pile driving" huge poles into the ground I thought how effective this method could be in the teaching of Science; driving the knowledge into a students head wih a ten ton weigir.t. Go to the library and look at the photographic exhibit of ANSEL AD- AMS. Look for eastern North Caro- lina in his subject matter. You'll find it in some of the pictures displayed. My wife and I attended a lunch- eon given for Governor Hodges by the His ovical Halifax Restoration Association Saturday. Being at the table next to the Governors, I had a good chance to observe the very gentleman-like manner in which he handled himself. I thought how nice it would be if all of the politicans, amateurs and professionals, could be as suave as our Governor Luther H. Hodges. A Sidewalk Plato By S. PAT REYNOLDS "What Strangles American Teaching?" Check April's Atlantic Monthly and find outas if you didn't already know A few months ago, a friend of mine handed me a slender book of poetry. 1 thumb- ed through the book, later read it, later re- read it and marked lines and sections that I wanted to remember, that I thought of value, that touched some part of me. Poetry is a sad and wonderful thing. Sad because the lines are trickles of a life that would otherwise be unseen, sad because the reading of the lines is like looking into the thoughts of another. Poetry is sad but not tearful sd nor sentimental sad. Sad because we stumble across the realization of life, the shrrtness of time, the awesome misunder- standings, the truths we can never quite pen trate. Wonderful because we can say with Em- erson that we ourselves have thought the thoughts revealed in the linesperhaps in a different way and in another time. V. derful because the poetic voices of nature and man and God are here brought openlv to mar- ve! over. Such things did I find in the moo la and voices of that slender book given to me by the friend. I am no criticI cannot point to the literary value of a work and say WHY I can only know that a few of the lines, in eral of the poems found their ways into my thought, into my philosophy, and into my remembering. That slender book was entitled CATA- LYST and it was written by Dr. Martha PingeJ Wolf. I never knew Dr. Pingel. never took a course under her but I can realize and know with others just why her leaving will be East Carolina's loss. Speakg of pcetrythat's always a sub- ject that even the best of us turn our ruses up when we hear such a thing as verse men- tioned. I always smile in an embarrased sort of way when some unsuspecting individual suddenly stumbles upon the fact that I plav around with lines. I feel like an odditv find myself making fumbling excuses for nuking the feeble attempt. Walt Whitman was just the oppositemaybe that's because the stuff he wrote was good. He said"I celebrate myself and sing myself and what I assume you shall assume and he meant every word. He was a leaning and loafing and writing fellow, that Whitman. And ego- tisticalhe knew he had it even if the tea- drinking set and gift-book readers didn't take to him. In the mid-eighteen hundreds he dared put the word sex in his poetrv. He also lost his job. Peyton Place and From Here to Eternity had nothing on him. The startling thing is that his poetry is go matter why you read it. And to wind up on a cheering note that I'll leave these halls of ivy and a lit bit on the rationalizing side, Whitman tells us that "Wisdom is not finally tested in school, Wisdom cannot be pass'd from one having it to another not having it 'Cussin' N Discussin' 'En Garde' By PAT FARMER By NANCY LILLY No, tfhis isn't one of those trite columns designed to make you laugh or get mad at somebody or think foolish thoughts. In fact, if you are in the mood for thinking foolish thought or for not thinking at all, you might as well journey on to the rest of tihe paper. You'll receive no solace here. What is the matter with us? What, in the name of heaven, is the matter with you and me and all the people like us? What is wrong? Have we lost our sense of values, or have we ever even had one? What is the dis- ease that has finally come to light through the courtesy and hard work of those charming people called Com- munists ? A few words of explanation are in order, I guess, before I scream any more at you. Sunday night I heard a tape recording tfhat knocked the entire audience flat, and few of us have recuperated since then. There is not enough space to go into detail, but in brief the tap recording was the report of a qualified psychia- trist's findings after hi interviews with several thousand prisoners of war who had been "brainwashed" by the Chinese Communists. The Com- munists have found the chink in our armorthe chink that a few people have been trying to tell us about for years. The Communists worked under the assumption that the average American soldier had little loyalty toward his country and his fellow countrymen, that he was lacking the proper moral values, that his actions were motivated by a wish for mater- ial reward, Chat, in other words, be was th epitome of what we, as Amer- ican citisens, think we're net. And using methods suggested by those assumptions, the Communists man- aged to "brainwash" the majority of their American P.O.W.s. A fact which shocked me was a grouping system flint the Communists had. The men who were considered intellectuals or radicals, who would fight the "brain- washing" techniques and could not be swayed by them, were separated from the men who were considered ripe for Communist teachings. The amazing fact was that only one out of twenty men was placed in ttie un- reachable class. Nineteen out of every twenty men were considered good material for "brainfwashingl" And "those men were not put through phy- sical tortures, and the mental tor- tures which they faced were of their own making. Our men did not possess the mental and moral stamina to en- able them to fight the psychological warfare. Why not? Why couldnt our men stick together.? Why couldnt they re- member that their duty was to their country and to each other? Why did they think that when they became prisoners of war their duties and their loyalties ceased functioning? The Communists actively control one-third of tihe world's population. They are advancing rapidly in tech- nics! fields, as we are well aware. What we do not realise is that the ability to control men's minds is as important, if not more so, than the ability to control men's bodies. When the mind is imprisoned, it follows logically that th body is controlled with invisible chains. With what weapon can we fight psychological warfare? Why isn't our only possible weapon already in- grained deeply enough within us to enable us to withstand Communist psychology? Aren't our country and our moral code and our own dignity important to us? Aren't the demo- cratic theories that we are supposed to possess worth enough to stand 19 for when the going gets rough? We talk a "good game hat have we even convinced ourselves? And If wo dont actively believe in what wo pro- fess, how ean wo hold up car before the rest of flta woeld? The shocking news of Cheryl Crane de- fending her mother (Lana Turner) has reallv made the headlines . . . Just think if Cheryl's name was just plain Mary Brown the world would never have known of the scandal . . . And Lana's love letters . . . That should be a warning to some people.

If My hnve our desire fulfilled we would have Washington f the ellar. Boston in first place, or perhaps St. Louis in the National League first spot . . . and we would certainly like to see Roy Campenella get merica favorite pastime. But thr-n again tJere is someone much higher than we will ever be who pulls the strings for him, and knows who will win and who will lose All we can do is get behind our players, our teams, whether the game be of the major league variety or college level such as here a' East Carolina. To the true ball player every team he plays on is his big league club and a true fan should feel that the team he veils for is his big league team too. I have been asked by a certain gentleman to explain tennis etiquette to some of our tennis fans. I should consider it an honor and a necessity due to a recent incident I witnessed. Last week I was horrified when I approached the tennis courts. The few fans hanging on the fences were making o much noise that I fait that I must have crossed my connections and was headed for a baseball game instead. But as I neared my destina- tion, I noticed that the men were wearing white shor s instead of bag- gy greys and were sporting weapons made partially of string instead of lugging baseball bats. Since this meant that I hadn't lost my sense of direction I felt a little relieved, but I still couldn't understand what all the "racket" was about. Then I un- derstood; these newcomers to the ten- nis world just didn't know exactly how to conduct themselves while watching a tennis match. Pity? Well, I'll just have to pass along a little information to these poor souls and give them the scoop. Firstly, tennis is a gentleman's game. Instead of "cussin" out the umpire when you lose a point, the loser will probably say "nice shot, Bill Now as spectators you should act accordingly. Instead of yelling and screaming, try clapping your little hands as a token of your ap- preciation. Have you ever tried to study for a science test with 16 peo- ple yelling at you? Well, in playing tennis it takes the same kind of con- centration because winning a tennis match depends on only one or two people. Winning s tennis match re- quires a combination of skill, stra- t gy, concentration and power. I'm sure that the team enjoys and wants your support, but do try to control your emotions. I'm not trying to be sarcastic, because I realise that you are not filled in on all the tennis rules. In fact, the pirates would prob- ably feel slighted if no one showed up to watch them in action. Just remember, at a tennis match, use your hands instead of your voices. WHAT 1$ A HO DOCTOR? WILLIAM WSSIR u MUI couist Squealer Healer WHAT'S AN OSSTACIE IN A CIOSS-COUNTKY RACf? 0AVI0 RIAIIAt.t.

By DERRY WALKER "This is Radio Station WWWS, owned and operated by East Carolina College in Greenville, N. C On Wed- nesday, A; HI 17, 1957. these words weto announced for the first time that BOC had a voice of its own. This was tl e beginning of a new kind of 1 arning, a new school of thought for the 8 udent body, for now "their college could educate, inform, and entertain many miles of listeners in l matter of seconds. The seconds of broadcasting took preparation, how- ev. r. for there was more to it than merely flipping a switch and speak- ing into a microphone. Program logs, tapes, i romotlon sheets, and records weie needed; FCC and school regula- tions must be considered; adequate training and proficient personel must be sought. All this and more had to be obtained to enable the voice to speak with (larity and stability. The start was slow, but promising. Broadcasting took place only three hours a day for the first month or so, but .summer school gave the wheel another turn. Such capable volunteers as Calvin Chesson, Gene Lusk, Tur- ner Manning, Freddie James, and others established themselves as Bports announcers, news commentators, and disk jockeys. The SGA saw the value of campus radio, contributed $716 in records to the practically empty rec- ord library, and installed an FM ra- dio in the school cafeteria for the benefit of the students. Time progressed, summer was over and the radio staff continued to grow. Officers were elected, a constitution was adopted, and a regularly sche- duled broadcast day materialized. The voice now spoke from seven o'clock in be morning until nine-thirty at night, end operation became more consist- ent, By winter quarter of 1957, the staff numbered forty-four, and the variety of i rogrami increased. Network broadcasts were carried over WGTC and WHED. Timing was now essen- tial, the work more, professional; only one thing remained unaltered behind t:e voice: the job was still a thankless one that paid off in experi- nee only. But, with competent facul- v members like Rosalind Roulston and Wemlel L. Smiley who more than willingly aeeept the often thankless jobs, and ambitious students like b ne Lusk, Frank Hancock, and Clark Taylor, who eeek organization and M'tiey. the voice has grown st ronger. Many students have asked about campus radio's listening audience: how big? bow far? how often? Sur- prisingly enough, the listening au- dience hs grown parallel with cam- pus radio. Mail has been received from up to 60 miles away, from Kin- ston, Washington, Ayden, Maury, Snow Hill, and Grimesland. The per- centage af student listeners is high, and would be higher were it not for the lack of FM receiver sets on cam- pus. This problem has been defeated now, however, with the help of Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity and Law- rence Behr, campus radio engineer. The much discussed "carrier current" system winch will enable all radios in the dormitories to receive WWWS, is almoat completed, and will be in- stalled this spring. sor "The Moon I8 Blue" Aprjl 30, May 1, 2 with proceeds over the cost of production going into their scholarship fund.
