Barbara, a soprano, has played leading roles in musicals both her junior and senior years. Her most re- cent accomplishment was her splendid performance of Carrie Pipperidke in "Carousel She is a member of Sig- ma Alp?a Iota Fraternity, and was guest soloist for the orchestra this year. Barbara was recently awarded the AAlW Scholarship, and will study in Munich, Germany, this summer. She plans to do her graduate work next ytar at the University of Michigan. Ste; hen Farish, baritone, has been in many musicals during his four years, and for three years ha9 played the lead in these musicals. His moat recent lead part was that of Billy Bigelow in Carousel Stephen was soloist for the Mes- siah last year, and is a member of the opera workshop. For the past two summers. Stephen has worked in the Katsias Hints Hew Proposal President of the SGA, Mike Kat sias. has hinted that a proposal for a two louse system may come forth at the special call meeting of the Student government Monday night, May 5. The meeting will deal with the approval, rejection or amending to the revised senate system which was recently approved by the stu- dent body and incorporating it into the recently revised original consti- tution. Bobby Hall's six-point proposal for the continuation of the literary mag- azine, "The Rebel edited by Bryan Harrison, will be untabled for dis- cussion and vote. Katsias announced during an inter- view. "Due even to conflicts in the revised constitution now pending, a proposal may come forth calling for a two house system. This system would incorporate the present senate sys- tem and the lower house would be composed of every organization and fraternity on campus. If a two house system would be introduced and passed at this meeting, East Carolina would be the only college in tJh.e state with such a government If the new constitution is approved at the call meeting, it will be carried ?o the student body for voting at the end of the week. President Katsias stated that be feels there are three main purposes for more constitutional changes. "In clearifying this for the student body, I believe first that more changes will greatly improve functions of the left and 1 don't see how I can get everything done. I really can't realise that graduation is here. I feel like someone else as many times as I've watched tl.em come and go Betiy was EC's Azalea Princess at this year's Port City Festival.

Sptcial events of the anniversary weekend, announced by President John D Mesisck of the college, include a meeting of the North Carolina Liter- ary and Historical Association, May Day exercise, a meeting of the college Board of Trustees, two performances of C. e pageant, and a series of social affairs. Alumni and friends of the col- lege from many parts of the country are expected to be present for the cele- bration. "East Carolina's Spade: To Serve pageant written by Emma L. Hooper of the department of English, presents hrough drama, music, and the dance the fifty years during which the insti- tution 'has grown in size and prestige, has contributed to educational progress in North Carolina, and has served the people of the state in their intellectual, cultural, and spiritual interests. Performances are scheduled for Sat- urday, May 3, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, May 4, at 3:30 p.m. in the Wright au- ditorium. The public is invited to at- tend. A cast of approximately 600 people will include faculty members and ad- ministrative officers of the past and the present, alumni, members of the Board of Trusteees, students at the college, kinsmen of those who were connected with the early history of I the school, and others. The East Carolina Orchestra, the college concert band, and three student choral groups will provide a musical background.

On Thursday, May 8, the East Carolina College band will present it's annual concert in McGinnis Audi- torium at 8 p. m. Directing will be East Carolina's band director Mr. Herbert Carter. The opening numbers are original British band compositions. They in- clude favorite folk songs by Ralph Vaughan Williams, the well-known British composer. There is "Seven- teen Come Sunday "My Bonny Boy and "Folk Songs From Somer- Other selections in this group are "Ye Banks and Braes O'Bonnie Doon' and "Flag of Stars "Flag of Stars composed by Gordon Jacob is to be one of the main selections. Concerning this selection Mr. Carter spates, "It is a gesture from an in- habitant of the Old World to that of the new, and is one of the most im- pressive compositions I've heard The main attraction of the concert is to be "Abe Lincoln, Gettysburg, 1863" composed by Don Gillis. Mr. Gillis is a leading American com- poser for television and motion pic- tures. This selection is to be the Gettysburg Address narrated to mu- sic by August Laube. Mr. Laube is a graduate of the East Carolina Col- lege department of music and is pre- sently director of the Greenville High School Choir.

For the finale the band will play "Holiday For Trombones" composed by David Rose and arranged by Paul Herfurth. This spirited composition features the entire trombone section. Featured will be tiombone players: Jack Pindell, Ralpli Shumaker, Frank Bullard, Ben McHorney, Francis Swanson and Ted Lee. er of days before the publication would be issued. Harrison stated that slight changes had been made in plans for the publication of the mag- azine this year. Only one issue is to be printed instead of the two issues planmd. This was due to cost of publication, because, on the basis of he allocation of the SGA for the magazine and solicited advertise- ments two issues of the publication could not be financed. He continued that the Budget Committee had given the staff permission to print one copy insead of two with the allocated ap- propriations. He also added that there was some of the appropriation left. According to Harrison the maga- zine will consist of twenty-four pages of students' contributions, and 1500 copies are being printed. There are one hundred contributions from thir- ty contributors. Harrison stated, I would like to publish four issues next year At the conclnsion of his re- port he read the editorial from the coming issue of the magazine, which gives reasons for the name of the literarv magazine, The Rebel. Bobby Hall commended Harrison for his work on the magazine and then introduced the following motion: " to extend the organization for the publication of the Rebel, a liferary magazine for one year on the following basis: (1) The staff be composed of a minimum of five mem- bers consisting of an adviser, editor, assistant editor, managing editor and business manager to be selected in accordance with the constitution. (2) A minimum of $1500.00 be allo- cated for publishing three issues per Additional publications and the num- ber of issues (minimum of 1500) to be de-ermined by the staff. (4) All money collected by advertis- ing be returned to the Student Gov- ernment General Fund during spring quarter. (5) The students be allowed to vote for or against the continuation of I he magazine during the next Student Government election. (6) If the magazine is approved by a simple majority of students voting thereon, that it becomes a perma- nent organization with the prestige and responsibilities of the present publications. (7) Violation of any one of the above principles declare this motion null and void at which time the Student Government Association will take appropriate action to seize any funds and property in its control. However, after discussion, Hall moved to table his motion until the next SGA meeting because of the small attendance. Hall stated, "I am in favor of the literary magazine now because I feel that the SGA can afford to support it. We cannot rely on advertising to finance the publication, so if we are to have it the SGA must support it financially for it to be a success He added, "I am now prepared to fight for the establishment of the literary magazine as strongly as I opposed (Continued on Page 4) Notices choir of the "Lost Colony" product- ion at Manteo.

CORBETT In an effort to eliminate the huge en- tanglement of red tape, confusion and geeral disorder that are a seemingly established evil of our defense system, President Eisen- hower has proposed a plan that would give the Secretary of Defense more power and Congress less. The plan is far from being put into effect, however. And before it is the President will probably find himself en- gaged in one of the most bitterly contested Sights of his career. Even before the plan was out of the drafting stages, opposition was mounting by leaps and bounds. Many leading Con- gressmen, Democrats and Republicans alike, have already announced their dislike for the proposal and many others will follow. What- ever else can he said about the measure, how- ever, it has clearly created one situation pre- viously believed to be an impossibility: Un- animous agreement among the Armed Forces. They all dislike it. Fortunately for President Eisenhower the extreme dislike for his proposal felt by Congress and the vurions services is not shared by the American people. No official poll has been taken yet to determine the exact opinion of the public, but general re- acti n has favored it. This does not necessar- ily mean that Americans are wholeheartedly for this particular plan. It may instead stem from the feeling that any change within the realm of Democracy would be an improve- ment over the current system, and they there- fore have little to lose. The President will undoubtedly find this public opinion to be a very helpful weapon in the battle with Con- gress is ii hit need by other things, the chief some obsei vers have already said if he found it necessary he would not hesitate to bypass Congress and appeal directly to the people. There are many reasons for Congress taking the stand it has on the issue. The ar- guement most often heard, however, is the danger of giving the Secretary of Defense too much authority and thereby creating a Czar. This argument has been the most ef- fective yet produced and will be heard more and more as time passes. But beneath what appears to be a valid reason for dislike, Con- gress is enfluenced by other things, the chief one being its desire to control the purse strings of the services, Tradition and pride plays an important part also. Congress sim- plj hates to lose any of the authority it has traditionally possessed down through the j ars. During a press conference recently, De- ten Secretary Neil McElroy was asked if members of the armed forces would be al- lowed to take a public stand against the measure. Anticipating the question, he im- mediately pulled from his pocket a prepared formal answer. In effect it said they should either be prepared to play ball under the new rules or turn in their uniform. That state- ment indicated clearly the earnestness of Mr. Eisenhower's desire to put his plan into ef- fect. Never before has he taken such a de- finite stand on an issue. The President is determined to see his plan materiallize; Congress is determined to stop it. To forecast the outcome would be largely speculating. President Eisenhower does seem to have a slight advantage, how- ever, so long as the current public trend does not change. Congress on the other hand is very powerful and this power cannot be taken lightly. The intense determination of the opposing parties guarantee one thing: The winner will receive a victory well de- served. , East Carolinian Published by the Students of East Carolina College, Greenville, North Carolina Name changed from TECO ECHO November 7, 1952 Member Teachers College Division, Columbia Scholastic Press Association Member lS Associated GoDeftiate Press J Entered as second-class matter December 3, 1926 at the U.

Had I not meant it, I would not have written it. The editorial, Murderers of the King's English Wgaa written with much seriousness and for a just reason. Evidently you missed the whole point of the article. I made no mention of ever expecting to see anything faultless or perfect. 1 first became really concerned with the f:uilty usage of grammar by many East Carolinians when one of my f 1 iencis, a business major who attended school here, tried to get a job. She is attractive, intelligent, and a good worker. During her firat job interview she was questioned about her past ex- perience and college work. Seemingly, s e made a good impression. However, at the second interview with this man she had to do more talking. It l.t.iime apparent to him because of her faulty usage of grammar she could never do the job for which he was interviewing her. He suggested that she try to get a typing or booking job in which she would not have so much contiet with the public. There is an officer of the Student Government Association who is also t e i resident of an outstanding cam- pus organization. Because of his atro- cious grammar, o'her members of the club claim that they are embarrassed when be speaks at state or district conventions. Yet this boy wants to be lawyer. A few nights ago my mother heard a senior girl who is in one of her sen- ior-graduate classes say this, "I've had three job offers and I haven't took one yet This girl is going to beach. One of my staff members uses such poor grammar in both his speak- ing and writing that every one of his stories las to be combed through for errors and rewritten. A girl on the staff uses very poor grammar in speech; however, she somehow keeps errors jut of her writing. The cases listed above are few; I could have listed more. The important thing is that every one of these peo- ple are quite prominent on our cam- pus. Evidently poor grammar usage las not hindered them the least bit ht re, but I am sure that "out in life" people will tend to look down upon them for these mistakes. I.s it not disgusting that after six- teen yean (or more) of schooling one does not know to say I came, rather than I come when speaking in past tense? In my Voice and Diction class student after student used grammar most offensively to au educated per- son's ears, yet the professor never once corrected them. If these student had been kept back in this class until they observed simple verb usage rules (I refuse to believe that they just did not know any better), it would havte been a blessing in disguise. They would have REALLY learned some- thing! The phone just rang and an officer of a quite outstanding fraternity said to me, "I come up to your office . . . We already had a picture took Ha is a senior. Can we call him an educa- ted man when he leaves college speak- ing thus? You asked me exactly what I termed grammatically correct. Who can say exactly what is gramatically correct? I do know, however, that all of the quo- tations in this column are very in- correct. How one can use such English seemingly unaware is beyond me. Several of the errors of which you accused me are printer's typographical errors. Since you aeem to find errors so easily, I invite you to come up on Wednesday afternoons and help us to remove such errors out of our paper by reading galley. You see, we have a problem. Although it is fairly easy to obtain criticisms of the finished product, it is equally as hard to find people to help us to produce it. I guess we are rather like the "Little Red Hen It is remarkable that you dissected my little editorial word by word, phrase by phrase, and yet still declared yourself in agreement with me. Be- lieve it or not I was rather pleased to receive your letter. It proved that someone thoroughly read my attempt at a small reform.

I'm sure it is the privilege of the faculty to hang the type picture they want in their ALUMNI HOUSE, but I wish they would reconsider the "number" paintings displayed so boldly at the back end of the alumni hallway.

'Cussin' N Discussin' A few weeks ago it out in this column that there was a battle going on at Woman's Col- lege in Greensboro over the right to search girls' rooms. The WC girls won their battle. Now, before a room can be searched for stolen articles, liquor, and all manner of things which little girls aren't supposed to have in their rooms, a written charge must be presented to the girl and she must be in her room when it is search- ed. That .sounds downright democratic. What in the world are colleges com- ing tol East Catolina just isn't preparing Its students properly. All college gl aduates who are planning to teach should have had at least twenty hours of coaching classes. At least, that's what George thinks. He majored in Social Studies and he is qualified to teach Social Studies. But every time he applies for a position, ha is asked the question, "What can you coach?" Hut George isn't the athletic type. George can't get a job. It was shocking to see girls wearing Bermudas last Thursday.

The most amazing fact was that the girls looked neat and quite comfortable, unen- cumbered by either crinolines or tight skirts. And the boys were happy be- cause there's no way in the world to turn Bermudas into sacks. A few people were startled at the fact that the co-ed.s remained as ladylike as ever even after donning the aforemen- tioned garments. All in all, the Col- hge Union Carnival was enjoyed twice as much by the girls as it would have been, because for once the girls were comfortable.

Letters Lucas Alarmed; CU Thanks Dear Miss Johnson: If you notice what I have to say I hope you will read it in the spirit of these words from Alexander Pope's "An Essay on Criticism "Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, thinks what ne'er was, nor is, nir e'er shall be I was quite alarmed at some of the contentions made in an article of the "East Carolinian "Murderers of the King's English I would like to men- tion a few of the statements in the article and question whether the author really meant what she wrote. The fol- lowing statement rather troubled me: "Anyone who uses incorrect English should not be allowed to pass any course in English, especially Voice and Diction Would the writer of the ar- ticle defend it as being gramatically correct ? When I took English courses I waa warned not to use the phrase, "in place of" for "rather than Can you defend this sentence as a correct usage of verb agreement with the subject? "But if the elementary grades and the high school fails to perform one of its most important tasks then this job falls to the college Shouldn't you change the following sentence? "Stu- dies show that high (school) students are plain (ly) ignorant of things grammar school students would have known a generation ago Is it logical for a teacher to take courses "in how to teach" children? Another of your assertations that I wish to question is that . . . "not every student can pass chemistry or physics, but every student is capable of and should be taught to apeak co- herent English Perhaps I should get your definition of "coherent Eng- lish Regardless of my remarks, I ant definitely in agreement with your ar- ticle concerning our need for better grammarians. We would never wish for a country with many language barriers, for such would threaten our eherisihed nationalism. As we survey the situation we might recall what Pope said in the following statement from "An Essay on Criti- cism "Tis with our judgements as our watches; none go just alike, yet each believes his own Sincerely yours, Thomas W. Lucas Dear Editor, The College Union Carnival Com- mittee with Miss Mendenhall and Mrs. Fagan like to express their gratitude to you and to the staff of the EAST CAROLINIAN for the complete coverage of the C U Spring Carnival in the many news articles during the spring quarter. We feel that the effort and coopera- tion on behalf of the EAST CARO- LINIAN'S photographer and news writers was a tremendous boost to Carnival Night It helped promote the first event of this kind by the Union, and we are proud to say that Carni- val Night at Bast Carolina proved to be a success far beyond our ex- pectations.

And his picture a page tall in LIFE MAGAZINE portrays a too thin old man with a white fuzzed beard on his chin and a shawl wrap- ped around his head. Someone has said that a man who wi poetry could easily be close to insanity. And Ezra and his judges proved to the world that this statement has an element of truth in it. Ezra uho wrote poetry, who dabbled in all the arts, who is called one of the foremost American poets, whose name is spoken is literary circles throughout the world, walk- id from a mental hospital clutching gl ssesa free man to return to Italy. Ezra is old, old and harmless. Th c of World War II are like shadows. Air: forgotten now are his treason m broadca for the Fascists. Almost forgotten m the fact that he rejected the United Sta and became a follower of Mussolini. We are no longer concerned with the same problems. Italy has been licked, and Ezara's going to spend his last days there. It would have been a shame Ezra to die in the mental institution. Th of the adverse propoganda. The Russians could have had a hey day. They could have announced to the world that we have for- saken art, that we had confined literature, that we were not a cultured people beca we let a man of letters die in confinement just because he was guilty of treason. Won- der how long Ezra would have lasted in Salt Mines? It would have locked bad to future gen- erations to read in their literature be that Ezra Pound died in a mental institu- tion where he was confined for trea against the United States. It would have 1. ed bad to read the poetry of a man who adjudged dangerous to our government, poor Ezra is out, poor Ezra Pound is free at 72, and his judge said that he would never be sane but that he was harmless. It seems strange to see him pictured an old man. His face is heavily wrinkled, his hands re the gnarled trophies of the aged. He is waiting to die. He has outlived his life- time. And those whose husbands died in the war, those legs ache from shrapnel can think of something else while Ezra boards his ship for Italy. It is not unfair that we should let him go. He is an old man with a shawl arc his ht ad to protect him from the cold. Pot Pourri By JAN RABY Pot Pourri is a column title that has been with the paper for at least four years so I thought I'd try to save it from oblivion The title gives the writer lots of room for it means "a medley or mixture of things To start the mixture off, here's a letter from a former editor (summer school). Dear Jan, I would like to congratulate you and your paper staff upon the wonderful job you have done this year. It has been a pleas- ure receiving those reports from home, way out here in Kansas. I would also like to wish all the gradu- ating seniors the best that life offers and to thank those whom I had the privilege of knowing for making my two years at EC as enjoyable as they were. I sincerely hope that somewhere along the path of life I see you all again. Peggy L. Stewart. Daniel E. Todd, Jr. of Wilmington has been selected as "an outstanding teacher of high school physics" by the special awards committee, of the N. C. Academy of Science.

Dr. Ed Hirshberg of the English depart- ment had an article published in the Janu- ary-February edition of 'The Humanist" magazine.

(From Augusta College OBSERVER, Rock Island, 111.) Conformity has become or should have become (we don't want to seem too optimis- tic or naive) a popular topic of campus con- versation. It may even have rivaled for a time such perennial subjects as what to do about over-due papers, the Saturday night dating situation, or the approaching mid-terms. If this estimate of the situation be correct, then there is hope for us as an intellectual insti- tution. College and conformity should be mu- tually exclusive terms, but to believe that they art o would be to submit to a rather fantastic illusion. As students, we are not insulated from the pressures to coformity. (The number of new sacks' may be an in- dication of this aa well as a aign of spring.) But much more important and a great- er threat to our integrity aa students axe those subtle influences to an intellectual and moral conformity that seems at times to be an integral part of the campus. These in- fluences may be very general, as the common unreasoned talk about "the Augustan way of doing things or quite specific as a di- rective that undue publicity not be given to certain social events at a somber Has of year. hif8 Lj.

The win boosted BCs conference re- cord to 6-1, a game behind league leading Elon who has an 8-1 record. Yesterday's evening affair at col- lege stadium saw Jim Martin lead Buc batters with 2 hits in 4 trips and 1 RBI. Singles by Vaughn and Phillips accounted for 2 more runs while Bucky Reep doubled home another. The final Pirate run came as the result of a Tommy Nance's fielders choice. Williams took over mound duties in the 7th frame as High Point threatened to score. Butch Allie Drives In 5 Runs For Duke One man completely wrecked the Firate hopes of a win over the Blue Devils oif Duke University last night at Guy Smith Stadium. Duke Allie, a right handed long ball hitter blasted out a towering double, a single and a 400 foot home run over the left field fence to account for 6 of Duke's runs. He batted in 5 and scored once in the 8 to 3 victory. No one player on the EC team managed to get more than one hit. The Bucs had 8 in all. Jerry Stewart's single in the second, an error and a fielder's choice and a sacrifice fly by Jim Martin accounted for East Carolina's first run. Bill Altman, the player that defensively dominated the game with two brilliant running catches in center field, drove a triple to right to score Stewart in the 7th frame. Stewart had previously waked. Marion Talon followed with a sacrifice fly to score Altman for the third and final run for Mallory's crew. Baker was relieved by Leonard Lilly in the 6th. Canpella went all the way for Ace Parker's squad and of course received credit for the win. The loss gave EC a season's record of 8 wins against 4 setbacks. In North State conference action last Friday and Saturday, East Caro- lina had its conference record marred and was knocked from the unbeaten rank.s in that first place Elon nipped iIk Bucs by a scant 5-4 margin. The win pushed the Christians to 8-1. On Saturday ECC got hot to dump High Point 13-2 on the latter's home dia- mond. This gave the Pirates a 6-1 mark going into yesterday's contest with the same High Point squad. Nance Hitting Well The hitting of letft fielder Tommy Nance is one of the many bright spots Pageant and the game will be played tomorrow night instead. The rained out game with Catawba on Monday may be made up if it influences East Carolina's possiible outcome in the league first place race. It was Ca- tawba that went 10 innings with first place Elon last week to settle for a 4-4 tie in a game called because of darkness. Catawha is in third place at the present and "has always been a tough baseball opponent for the Bucs. A large crowd is expected to see the Indians face the Pirates of East Carolina tomorrow night at Guy Smith Stadium with game time slated for 8 p. m. Pirate's Table Tennis Matches Being Held On Monday And Thursday The eight team Pirate's Den Table Tennis League opened play last week in Umstead Hall's Pirate's Den, with 24 players participating. Play begins at 9:30 p. m. every Monday and Thurs- day night until the final round is played on May 8. This of course means tfhat remaining play will take place tonight, Monday night and next Thursday night. During this time each team will have played every other team in the league, and each member of the win- ning team will receive a trophy, and the most improved player during the period of league play will receive a special trophy. All interested male students are invited to attend the remaining match- es. Chairman of the league is Norman Kilpatrick and the captains of the teams whielv have been given the names of states are: Alabama, Tom Slater; Arizonia, Charlir Russell; Arkansas, Paul Maskalenko; Cali- fornia, Al Bremer; Colorado, Ronald Stevens; Connecticut, Al Colwell; Delaware, Bridges Sabiston; Florida, Sonnv Deese. By PAT HARVEY Last week the East Carolina Ten- nis team turned in their fifth straight shutout victory in four days by defeating Atlantic Christian 7-0 here. This gives the Pirates a record of 7-0 in the conference and 10-2 overall record inchiding all the matches played this year. The only defeats were given to them by the Citadel and N. C. State, both by the same score, 5-4. This better than average record is ipuite unusual and impressive for ECC considering EC's records in other sports ihis year. It really is a shame t'at tennis isn't as well received by the .students as is football and bas- ke ball. The boys have been playing a great game and deserve more praise than they are receiving. Maurice Everett, a senior who has held the number one position for the j.ast four years, has been playing a terrific game. Maurice has played in various tennis tournaments all over t" e state and has developed into an all-round player. He has a slicing, powerful serve which has been the reason for many of his victories. Playing slot 2 is John West, a soph- omore from Durham, who is slated to relieve Meurice from his position upon graduation. John is undefeated tfl is year, and, if he plays as well in the future, will probably hold this record. West is one of the tallest men on the team and he uses his height to an advantage on the forecourt. Billy Hollowell, a sophomore who is also undefeated, is probably the "coolest' and most improved player on the courts. Bill has beautiful form and a backhand that cannot be top- ped. He and John Savage team up as one of the hottest doubles combina- tions BOC has ever had. The third man to remain unde- feated is the No. 4 player, John Sav- age. John, probably the most color- ful player on the team, never ceases to amaze the audience with his as- sortment of terrific shots. Lawrence Brown, who has had less action than anyone else, has improved a great deal thi3 year. Brown lacks experience but has a powerful over- hand smash that wins him point after point. Our last member of the iron six is our newly-elected SGA president, Mike Katsias. Mike plays the most unor'hodox tennis anyone has ever seen, but is a consistent point-getter with his unusual smash and push shots. Quite a few more matches remain in this year's season, so everyone go out and support this winning team. Watershow Takes Place Tonight Tonight at 8:00 p. m. the first per- formance of East Carolina's Annual Watershow will be given in Memorial Gym. Performances will be held again Friday night, May 2 at 8 p. m. Tic- kets to this event have been on sale since Monday. They are being sold at 50 cents to everyone before the show and 75 cents when purchased at the door. I. D. cards will not provide ad- mittance to this show. They may be bought from any Aquatics Club, as Ebb Tide. The show has been worked up by members of the club with the aid of their advisor Miss Graff and Dr. DeShaw both of the physical edu- cation deartment. East Carolina's women's sycronized swimming group, the Aquanymphs, the ECC swimming team, and other eople who can aid in making the show a better one are being called upon to perform. The swimming team plans to do a few skits; some of these will come under the title the boys made up tailed "Aqua-manics Diving and clown diving are also lined up for the show. "A. B Benfield, president of the Aquatics Club, will be the master of eremonies for the event. All the fraternity members should be interested in supporting their re- presentatives in,the Fraternity Swim Relay which will be held both nights of the show. The winners tonight will be challenged for their first place i osition Friday by the other fraternities. Trackmen Beaten By Camp Lejeune East Carolina's cinder team met the powerful Camp Lejeune Marine squad and Cherry Point's track and field aggregation in a triangular meet held at Camp Lejeune last Saturday. Depth and sheer power was on the side of the Camp Lejeune Leather- necks as they topped EC by a score of 92 2-3 to 47 1-3 and then rsn over their next door neighbors from Cherry Point by helping East Carolina to keep the Cherry Point scoring down to 21 points. Thus on a muddy and rain swept track it was Camp Le- jeune on top, East Carolina in the second spot and Cherry Point in th number three and last position. Curry Again Leads Team Jessel Curry again led his team in the track and field sport. Curry scored 15 points as he nabbed two first places in the high and low hurdles, a second in the broad jump and a third in the javelin throw. Foster Morse bettered his old mile record which is a feat he has accomplished everytime he has run the coveted 5,280 feet stretch. Morse holds the North State Conference record in the mile and ran a 4:35 last Saturday. He placed first in the two mile, and second in the mile for 8 points In all. Bob Maynard in the dash department, Joe Holmes in the hurdles and Eddie Dennis with the javelin, were quite dominant in helping the Bucs to rack up the 47 1-3 points. Leading Scorer For Season With a season's total of 95 big points in all meets held, Curry of course leads the team in pointa scored and since there are but two meets left he has all but clinched the scor- ing title. His 95 points will be better- ed considerably when he runs again in the High Point invitational relays tomorrow at High Point and in the final North State Conference tourna- ment coming up next week. The Amateur Athletic Union in- vitational meet to be held at Raleigh on May 17 is one of the largest track and field events sponsored by the AAU each year and thousands are expected to be on hand to witness some of the top runners in the coun- try. ft ft ft w V? ft A ft ft ft ft THE MARINE CORPS BUILDS LEADERS TRAIN AS A ftftftftftftftftftftftftftft Stan FRIDAY May 2 ERNEST HEMINGWAY' Delicious Food Served 24 Hours Air Conditioned CAROLINA GRILL Corner W. 9th & Dickinson I Leave Your Shoes For Prompt Expert Shoe Repairs At College View Cleaners Sub-Station5th Street All Work Guaranteed Saad's Shoe Shop 113 Grande Ave. Dial 2056 Pick-up and Deliver Service Vbr- ROCK HUDSON mmJOHtS WTTORIO Ot Starts FRIDAY May 9 "and GodL Beddingfield's Pharmacy Five Points REVLON and CARA NOME COSMETICS REXALL DRUGS ONE DAY FILM SERVICE "Your Most Convenient Drug Store" WHAT IS A JAPANESE BANK? fgjftjill- m H. 1.

Wall Chairman of Special Project Committee of the College Union. To Whom It May Concern: After reading the article published last week in the EAST CAROLIN- IAN rtaining to the Junior-Sen- ior dance on May 10, I cannot help but form a defensive attitude toward such a tyrannical statement as "street clothes or any other attire, other than formal, will not be ad- mitted I am well aware of the fact that this Junior-Senior dance is one of the rare formal occasions of the school year and I don't doubt that the in- vitation conwnitee, or who ever is responsible in planning this event, have good intentions and want to do everything in their power to make this dance a very colorful and gala event, but did they ever take into considera- tions that there are a few of us who are not of the elite, thriving capitalist class? or is this dance only for them? I don't mind buying a corsage for a girl half as much as I mind shelling out ten bucks to rent a formal to use for four hours in the semi-dark- ness of a crowded dance floor. I can understand being kicked out of a dance at the White House for not wearing a formal because I'm not a part of that crowd, but, I am a part of the senior class and I feel that a great social injustice would be done if members of the Junior and -Senior classes were not admitted o this dance just because an elite few decided everyone would wear formals! If I were the only "poor" student in this situation, I wouldn't bother writ- ing this letter, but several of my fel- low peasants are in the same situa- tion and I feel perfectly justified in voicing m; opinion. It seems to me, and I'm not alone on tiiis point, that some consideration should be allowed for .those who can- not afford to rent a formal. A dark suit has arway8 been accepted in the past, (and these are such a minority that one hardly notices anyhow) so why not this time? Perhaps I have misinterpreted the statement in last week's paver, but the more I think about it the more dogmatic it becomes. Isn't there sny room for any toleration at all? Any- one who claims to have any demo- cratic principles at all should know that when toleration disappears, the unpleasant smell of tyranny arises. Please have mercy I remain year respectful pauper, Eddie Sinclair Editor's Note: The story concern- ing the Junior-Senior dance was sub- mitted by Purvis Boyette, chairman of invitations v - V
