of the World University Ser-

YMCA and YVA in a campus drive

His talk explained to the legisla-
ture the purpose and work of the
WUS.
Mr. Marion stated that, WUS or-
iginated as an organization for help-
ing needy European studen s during
WVY II. and grew in scope until col-
lege and university students all over
Hie world became envnlved, with the
United S'ates and forty other coun-
tries supporting it. He continued that
it was nol a chari y organization but

examples of the past work of the
Wl'S Mr. Marion mentioned the help
given to student refugees from Hun-
gary after the attempted revolt
WUS solicited colleges world-wide
for their help and succeeded in plac-
ing over 3,000 students in various

Editor To Assume
Duties In Spring
By ROSEMARY EAGLES
A a result of the Board of Pub-
lications meeting Wednesday, April
15, Kathryn Johnson will immediately
assume the duties of the EAST
XROLINIAN editorship and Adol-
p us Spain was named editor of the
L958-59 BUCCANEER. Bryan Har-
rison was reappointed editor of THE
REBEL.
The Board approved a motion by
Dr. James Tucker, chairman of the
Board, that beginning next year the
editor of the EAST CAROLINIAN
will be appointed during the later
of winter quarter and will begin
duties at the beginning of spring
quarter. "This gives a chance for an
editor who is a B.S. degree student to
spend spring quarter doing his stu-
dent teaching stated Dr. Tucker.
In a letter of review and apprecia-
tion to the Board, Jan Raby, this
year newspaper editor, stated that
wished the newly elected editor
to take over her duties immediately
and she would stand by in an advisory
capacity.
Sports editor Bill Boyd, a senior
from Portsmouth, Virginia opposed
Kathryn for the editorship.
Miss Johnson, a rising junior and
grammar education major from Green-
ville, has been a staff member for
two years and was previously the
managing editor. She took two years
of journalism in high school and
handled editorial positions on the
school paper both years.
Miss Johnson expressed her ap-
preciation to the Board upon her ap-
pointment. In a statement to the
newspaper she explained, "At the
present the EAST CAROLINIAN
doesn't have enough money to print
enough papers for the day students.
Only 150 papers are placed in the
lege Union for day students when
at least 1,000 more are needed. A
mailing system may be an answer.
When a student pays for a paper he
should get it. Dorm students will
continue to have their papers de-
livered to their rooms.
"I plan to have special meetings
in the form of classes for people
interested in n wswri ing and make-
up. These classes will be compulsory
for staff members receiving salaries.
This is almost necessary since we
do not have any journalism classes
on campus.
"All club reporters on campus will
meet at least once with us in order
that news writing techniques and
EAST CAROLINIAN policies can b
explained. This should prevent any
misunderstandings and do away wih
so much rewriting of stories.
"As of yet all positions on the
staff are open for application. The
paying positions are managing editor,
business manager, assistant editor,
and sports editor the new editor
further stated.
Candidates for the editorial posi-
tions submit letters concerning their
qualifications and interest to the
Board of Publications. At the closed
meeting the letters were considered
and the candidates were briefly in-
t rviewed and then voted on.
The Board is headed by President
John D. Messiek, Vice-president Leo
W. Jenkins and Chairman Dean
James H. Tucker. Other members
are the editors of the campus pub-
lications, Jan Raby, I. K. Williamson,
Bryan Harrison, and Billy Arnold,
and their advisers Miss Mary H.
Greene, Dr. Clinton R. .Prewett, Dr.
James E. Poindexter, Dr. John O.
Reynolds, and Mr. Ovid W. Pierce.

On Awards Day
Last week a number of students were
honored at Awards Day for their work this
past vear in their departments, in the SGA,
and dh Art staff of the BUCCANEER and
the EAST CAROLINIAN. JHqnoved? I won-
der.
Only a few people, mostly the persons
who were to receive an award, were
present at this event. Some of the
people receiving awards were not even
there. Perhops the most gross insult
to the people being "honored" by being
presented a departmental award was that
in many cases the head of the department,
who was lo present the award, did not even
appear.
As some of the honorees received their
awards they left the auditorium, not caring
to clap for the ones who had previously re-
cognized them. The crowd dwindled steadily
until when the last SGA award was presented
there was a mere handful remaining in the
auditorium.
The 'unkindest cut" of all. the most dis-
reepectful, rudest act, was that when, as the
last part of the program, it was announced
that the Publications Awards were to be
presented, all the faculty members on the
stag filed out en masse, thus giving the ap-
pearance that everything of any importance
was over. As it by cue the faculty members
(there were only a few present) and many
of the students rose and began leaving.
Member! of the publication staffs work
long and hard. For this work, which is often
dull and routine, they receive little compen-
sation. They toil up the steps of upstairs
Wright to turn in the stories they have writ-
ten about brilliant students, about popular
students, about campus beauty queens. Their
own pictures never appear in the paper. Out
of the goodness of their hearts they deliver
the students' papers right to their doors. The
only way we have of rewarding these hard-
workers is at Awards Day when they stand
and receive recognition in the way of claps
and a certificate. The people to whom the
paper has given so much publicity did not
even stay to render, in this small way, their
appreciation. The only people who stayed to
heai the names of the people who had worked
on the publications read were these people
themselves, and a few other well-mannered
students.
Next year we should profit by this mis-
take. Why not make Awards Day a student
assembly? Why not really honor the students
receiving awards. And why don't our stu-
dents correct their ill manners by staying
throughout the program instead of grabbing
their award and running, or leaving when
ever they become ready?

Farewell
g to rne
lie, N. C.
By JAN RABY
Tib is my last columv speaking
as the editor, which has caused me
considerable concern. I'm sure 111
forget to say the most important
things I wanted to be sure to say and
I'll forget to mention some people
who .should not go unmentioned. How-
ever, I've already discovered one way
to shorten thisI'm leaving out my
caustic comments for the back-room
politicians and those other two-faced
individuals who have not added any
joy to this job. It's too late for
triiicizing, too early for cynicism, and
that just about leaves one thing . . .
a little sentimentality.
I'd like to express my thanks to
those members of the faculty and
administration who have backed me
and my policies. Especially I want
to thank those who have encouraged
me and offered constructive criticism.
To the faculty, in particular. Dr.
Martha Pingel Wolf has been my most
outstanding counselor and friend . . .
since the summer of 1950 when I
first attended this college.
1 would like to express my grati-
tude to Dr. Lucile Turner, for fi-
nancial aid; to Mrs. Antoinnette Jenk-
ins for her kindness and understand-
ing; and for that special inspiration:
Dr. Thomas Stritch, Miss Nell Stall-
ing, and Dr. Frank Hoskins. It's
such people as the above who have
made me glad that I chose to attend
DOC.
Looking to my journalism associa-
tions, I am indebted to Miss Mary
Greene for acting as editorial ad-
visor to the paper and to Dr. Clinton
Prewett for his financial advisory
capacity. A special note of thanks to
Dr. James Poindexter and his wife
who had good words to say for my
work when I needed them the most.
But it is the students, my fellow
workers on the staff, who deserve
lie most praise, for they have made
possible the weekly publication of the
paper. The freshmen deserve a special
salute for they have always been
willing and eager to servefrom de-
livering the .paper, to writing the
stories, typing them, and handling
most any phase of work that I needed
done.
On the editorial staff, I would have
had a hard time replacing Kathryn
Johnson, Marti Martin, and Pat Harv-
ey. They have had to handle the
thankless jobs, editing, make-up,
running around on a thousand er-
rands . . . without which a paper
could not be put together. In parti-
cular, 1 know of none who could have
stood up to my "bark" any better
than Marti, a freshman, who proved
s4.e could handle responsibilities just
as well as any upperc!assman.
"Ex-officio" member of the news-
pa er staff, Mrs. Susie Webb and
Mr. James Butler, deserve a public
note of thanks also. Mrs. Webb is in
charge of seeing that over a thousand
copies of the paper are mailed out
each week and maintains our alumni
and exchange file. And of course
everyone knows that "hand-shaking
Jim Butler is the backbone of EOC's
publicity. Mr. Butler has always been
willing to help us out with any in-
formation that we needed, not to
mention his other deeds that are in-
deed too numerous to mention.
Th printerthe moat important
man, and the most unmentioned when
it comes to praise or awards . . . Mr.
Sherman M. Parks deserves all the
praise (that he doesn't get) for
giving us service far beyond that
which we pay him for. His technical
advice is invaluable and his criticisms
have always been justified. He gripes
his share . . . but don't we all? And
1 haven't forgotten James, his helper.
My thanks . . for all the little jobs
and I'll stop calling you a "rookie
you've come of age.
For counselors, I have had two
who will remain in my memories
(pleasantly) for a long time to come.
I'll never forget Mrs. Alma Blssell,
who was my counselor in Ootten in
summer school and who won my re-
s. ect as an outstanding personality.
Also I've been fortunate to live in
"the castle Garrett dorm, these two
last years under the direction of
Mrs. Helen Snyder. She's a wonder-
ful person who has served ECC well.
She's listened to my problems and
aches and pains and helped me to
pull through some rough moments.
I'd like to give a special salute
to I. K. Williamson, editor of the
BUCCANEER, who has been always
willing to help us out with picture
or whatever we neededand just
for being a good friend whom I knew
I could trust.
East Carolina gave me more than
it meant tofor two of its alumni
are responsible for keeping me in
school, for encouraging me in rough
timesand who have had faith in
me, no matter what. I feel that any
awards Or honors I have wonare
due to themand I could not begin to
repay them with words or material
things all I can say is: "Thanks

The Birdwatcher's'
Lullaby Of Birdland
By DR. FRANK HOSKINS
These halcyon days always remind
me of A. E. Housman's
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bow,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Here I must change a word or two:
Now, of my threescore years and
ten,
Forty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs two
score,
It only leaves me thirty more.
And since to look at things in
bloom
Thirty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go,
To see the cherry hung with snow.
And, I wish to add, to see and hear
the equally soul-stirring migratory
birds on their way north from their
winter quarters far to the south.
As far back as I can remember, the
excitement of bird migration has
moved me deeply. As a boy, 1 used
to lie in bed on spring nights in the
Mid west and hurt with joy and in-
definable longing when I heard the
geese talking to one another as they
flew past high overhead on their way
to 'heir breeding grounds in northern
Canada.
I suppose this thrill and longing
stays with the birdwatcher for ever.
Last Sunday, for instance, I was
awakened at dawn by the bubbling,
infectious song of a house wren who
was inspecting a birdhouse I had set
up under the eaves the previous day.
It was all I could do to keep from
dashing out j eli-mell into God's de-
licious, exciting dawn-spring green
world to embrace every vernal won-
der.
At the moment, male warblers on
their way north are practicing their
nupital songs. Perhaps it is these
ever-present songs of the various
warblers that most attract the bird-
watcher into the fields and woods and
bog in late April and early May.
Because he is so smallslightly smal-
ler than a sparrowand of such a
flighty nature, the warbler offers a
real challenge to the acumen of the
birdwatcher. About two dozen species
of wood warblers fly north along the
Atlantic Seaboard flyway, and "very
few people indeed have seen all of
them. I have been pursuing warblers
with binoculars every spring now for
years, but it wasn't until last Sat-
urday that I saw my first worm-eat-
ing warbler, a little olive and buff
chap that sports handsome stripes
on the crown of his head. I saw him
in a gum tree near the Tar River.
He is the 207th bird on my life list
I still have a long way to go to be
able to say that I have seen most of
the North American birds. And only
thirty more springs!
Since I have only thirty more
springs to watch the migrants pass
through, I plan to drive up to Gatlin-
burg, in the Smoky Mountains, early
this May to see what famous orni-
thologist Roger Tory Peterson calls
the most spectacular spring concen-
tration of warblers in the United

Letter
Problem Aired; Group Agrees
To the Students and Faculty
To the Editor, EAST CAlROLINIAN
Bait Carolina College:
'As president of the East Carolina
Playhouse, I would like to answer the
letter published in last week's paper
concerning the Playhouse.
For some time we who are unusual-
ly active and interested in the Play-
house and drama have been deeply
concerned at the dissention and lack
of .progress in that field at East Caro-
lina. Thus concern is not motivated
by any desire for personal gain;
several of those most interested in
this will not be here next year, or
will not be working with the Play-
house for one reason or another. Our
main interest is the growth nd im-
provement of drama on the campus.
We feel that the college is growing
at a rapid rate; we also feel that we
should be growing with it. However,
this has not been the case.
This year things reached the boil-
ing point, and the situation is at last
in the open. We are truly sincere
when we say how sorry we are for
the manner in which things were
handled last week. However, we are
not sorry it happened. The vote we
took has been declared void by the
administration, since they hired Dr.
Withey to work with us, and only they
have the right to transfer him from
that post. . . but Dr. Messick and
Dr. Jenkins have agreed to study a
list of our proposals a8 they now
know we are dissatisfied with the
present drama situation. The atmos-
phere within the group has cleared;
and the coaperativeness, responsive-
ness, and general coordination be-
tween Dr. Withey and the Playhouse
is at a higher peak than it has ever
been before. The resentments, mis-
understandings, and complaints are
gone; we are now united as never
before in a common purposeto fur-
ther the development of drama at
East Carolina. For these reasons, Dr.
Withey, I, and others in the Play-
house say we are glad this incident
occurred, though we do regret the
way it happened.
As to those who wrote the letter
last week1 think it should be point-
ed out that they are now working
with us, agreeing that the situation
is a better one, and an understand-
ing has been reached. However, I
would like to suggest that these, and
others who so strenuously complained,
put forth a little more effort to work,
with plays, and to try to attend and
take part in more than one or two
meeings a year, so that they will be
able to understand what is going on,
East Carolina ring. He wanted to
know if Dr. Phillips could get the
ring back to its owner. Now, be-
cause of this man's honesty, Betty
Mae and I. K. can bO'h wear I. Ks
rings.
For the student body, 1 would like
to express appreciation to our circu-
lation staff, who delivered papers to
the door of every dormitory student
on campus. James Trice delivers five
hundred papers to the men in their
dormitories entirely by himself each
week. Could never get anybody to
help him. Susan Ballance and the
members of the circulation staff de-
livered papers to the girls' dormitor-
ies.
Due to lack of space Thomas Lucas,
your criticism of my last week's edi-
torial and a reply will be published
next week.
and will not misinterpret, misunder-
stand, or misconstrue any other sit-
uations and events about which they
know little or nothing.
We admit, gratefully, that there
is- a slight "clique" within the Play-
housea group of people interested
in drama, thrown together constantly
by their work, whose very lives re-
volve about it and the Playhouse.
Their highest interest and deepest
concern is the welfare of the Play-
house. One of the most active, but
without affected ways, accents,
etc is Dr. Withey himself. For these
people are the ones who ar the East
Carolina Playhousesthey carry the
bulk of the technical work, th di-
recting, the acting, and, needless to
say, attend almost every meeting,
and take part in the business and ac-
tivities.
To us, the world of drama is a
fascinating one. It concerns us that
we have been called snobbish for we
would encourage any and all who are
interested in drama to join us. As a
final word, may 1 seek to enlist the
support of the faculty on our cam-
pus. There is s great potential hero;
we have only tapped the surface.
East Carolina can benefit greatly
from an outstanding and active drama
interest.
A WVyou Join ttn ua? Thank you.
Sincerely,
Pat Baker

We had waited a long time sino the

had known that the principals in the da
were the making of the show. We had heard
sn.tchen of conversations, and we knew that-
the danceis were rehearsing. We had talked
with the choreographer and knew what to
expect. But we had heard and seen little by
way of official publicity and began to feel
that perhaps the dancing was not so import-
ant. We went over to McGinnis Thursday
niht expecting and wanting to see and hear
the singing principals. We also anticipa
the dancing. And it seems that when the
handshaking and back-slapping was going
on over the recent triumphs of CAROUSEL
there was one portion of the show that was
almost left out in the cold. What happr.

them and if they're worth praising, why
not put a little of it where it can get to them
and get to others. Oh wellI guess we can
always revert back to that "Not for glory"
sort of thing. And although the dancing was
certainly a gocd match for the singingand
although the dances had a definite portion
of the story to tell, why should we bother fa.
say anything about it? Hah! anywayfor
what it's worth thanks Chuck, Carol, and
all the others. It wras worth seeing.

the pages of THE HILLTOP, a semi-monthly
literary edition of Mars Hill College. The
forewaid to the edition states that the con-
tents are "what we consider the cream of the
crop I glanced through the magazine, even
read some of it, and came to the conclusion
that they are trying. A couple of members
of the creative writing set could really go
haywire with a red pencil and criticism.
And we who think we know a little about
writing would be inclined to throw the book
d.wn after a few sentences, but there are
examples of good writing in thereif you

of having a magazine.
'Cussin' N Discussin'
By NANCY LILLY
I usually feel guilty when I agree with
people, but this time it is a pleasure. "Carou-
sel" was beyond reproach. The music, the
acting, the staging, and the choreography
were excellent, and certainly rewarded the
hard work which had been put into them.
Particularly to be commended were Dottie Jo
James' acting in the death scene and the
choreography in the beach scene.
Evelyn Walston's exhibit of oil painting
on the second floor of Austin is extremely in-
teresting and shows a freedom of style found
in few young painters. "Room 305" is cer-
tainly the best painting hanging. The ex-
hibit is not a true expression of Evelyn's
talent though, for many of her paintings
which are not shown illustrate a broader and
more interesting aspect of her art.
Naturally the boys were happy to hear
that they cannot receive their summer school
room assignments until registration day.
Who wants to get his personal belongings
moved into his room the day before registra-
tion, anyway? It'll be much more challenging
to juggle schedules, trunks, etc. all at one
time, and anyone with good sense will realize
that tuition and registration lines aren't
enoughyou might as well stand in room as-
signment lines too. Helps to keep the men in
shape. East Carolina loves to make things
convenient for its students.
A friend was telling me of a college caf-
eteria he once worked in. He told some har-
rowing tales, too, about the conditions in
the kitchens. What amazed me was the fact
that every now and then thirty or forty stu-
dents who had eaten in the cafeteria would
come down with food poisoning. About ten
or twelve of them would break down and
toddle to the infirmary for treatment, while
the rest would suffer in the dormitories
When anyone would try to publicize these
occurances, they were promptly shut up by
the infirmary and the administration. I'm
glad that we don't have a situation like that
at least, I don't think we do. I haven't
eaten at our cafeteria in quite some time;
in fact, I haven't stepped foot inside the place
since a charming granddaddy roach waddled
out from under my plate and dared me to
touch my food. My exit was quite dignified,
although rather hasty. I don't know who
picked up the table and chairs after I left
Although the Playhouse may have been
justified in removing their director, the meth-
od by which they accomplished this was juve-
nile, inconsiderateand quite degrading to
their organization. The few members who
master-mined the affair have hurt the reputa-
tion of the Playhofise and, in showing no re-
spect for the feelings of others, have lost the
respect that has been accorded them this
yea?.

Roger Honeycutt led all hitters with
3 for ft at the late including a single,
double and triple. It was his triple in
the second inning with two Tarheel
team mates on base that started
things rolling. With two strikes on
him he slashed one of Baker's fast
balls to left and Carolina broke the
scoring ice. John Johnson took credit
for the win while Baker of course re-
ceived the loss.
Johnny Jones and Glen Bass, sub-

Pirate Netters
Top High Point
By knocking off High Point Col-
lege in two matches on Monday and
then beating Atlantic Christian yes-
terday, the Pirate tennis team stands
oV?.r t"0 .sWPen all six matches
scheduled during the current week.
After dropping from the unbeaten
ranks last week when N. C. State
nipped them 5-4 at Raleigh and when
The Citadel beat them last Saturday
by the exact some score, McDonald's
squad revived itself to top High
Point by a score of 7-0 on Monday
and by 7-0 again on Tuesday. In
Monday's contest it was a case of
too much Maurice Everette as he
paced the team by winning out over
High Points Ray Wicher 10-12, 6-2,
and 6-2. On Tuesday Bill Hollowell
and Jdrn Savage led the Bucs to an
impressive win. High Point is the de-
fending North State tennis champion
for last year and the Pirates proved
themselves to be somewhat stronger
than they were last year with these
two big wins.
Everette again led his squad to
victory yesterday as EC dropped At-
lantic Christian 7-0. The local team
won a doubles and singles from AC
by forfeit due to non-eligible players
on the part of the Wilson team.

be
or
low
intramural or semi-pro. The Green-
ville native has walloped six home
runs in his last six times at bat as of
yesterday. At the present time his
tremendous hitting is the talk of the
league.
Corey is of course leading his team
in the hitting department. The other
team leaders at the piate are Waliy
Cockerell of the undefeated Country
Gentlemen team, Lyle Coca er and
Larry Lisk of Kappa Sigma Nu,
Gerald Duffy a.id Buddy Wl.itfield
of Lambda Chi Alpha. Eugene Rat

liff of Sigma Rho Phi would have to
be mentioned. Both have done an ex-
teh. fast pUch.jt.t;iWim job 0f ;v.nn,i as well as

Three Teams Undefeated
As far as team standings go, due
to the fact that action in intramural
softball occured yesterday and to-
day, the standings vary qui'e a bit
from day to day, but there are still
three clubs undefeated in loop play.
The are the Kappa Sigma Nu, Lamb-
da Chi Alpha and The Country Gen-
tlemen. These teams have to face
each other next week ami only one of
them will emerge undefeated. As far
as depth goes, The Lambda Chi AI-
mam undefeated but from the stand-
point of the first nine men on the
tieid, T e Country Gentlemen should
be picked as the team to remain un-
it t'eated and go on to win the intia-
nural championship.
Tom Edison, president of the intra-
mural council which has been running
the league had this to say about re-
cent f lay. "Close games are being
played for the type of ball which is
actually being played which is of
ni" !l low Ulic variety. We
eoui M- w
have been enjoying a 7SG successful
intramural softball stason thus far
'tit the main complaint of the various
clubs is the lack of umpires and the
amount of work that different teams
have had to involve themselves with
by actually 'picking' umpires out of
the stands to officiate the games
Edison stated that he is working
on the umpire situation and hopes
something can be done to alleviate
the situation at the next meeting of
the intramural council.
Curry And Holmes
Lead Team To Win
With 26 Points
With Jfissl Curry's final heave of
the javelin deciding the contest, the
E st Carolina track squad topped the
N C. state cinder team by a score
of 69 to 61 on Tuesday at Raleigti.
Curry's final first place gave him
total of 14 joints for his evening's
work. He also took first place honors
in the hign hurdles, a second in the
! road jump and a third in the 220
yard dash.
Joe Holmes also proved his versa-
lity as Rm Manteo, N. C. youth net-
ted 12 points by taking a first in he
shot, second in the discus, second in
the high jump and third in the jave-
lin.
Al.o outstanding for the Pirates
were Jim Henderson, Bob Maynsrd,
Cliff Buck, Foster Morse, Bob Has-
kins and Bobby Patterson.
In addition to yesterday's meet
with North State College, the track
team met Duke and Wake Forest in
a triangular meet held last Thursday
at Duke Universtiy. Duke scored 103
points, EC 43 and Wake Forest 16.
Dave Sime of Duke took three first
place for 18 points. Jessel Curry took
t first in the high hurdles and a num-
ber of seconds and thirds for 12
points and second place scoring hon-
ors.
