During election days. Mike, who ran
unopposed for the presidency, did
quite a bit of political campaigning;
and it brought results!

aspires to be a lawyer, has shown
that he has political potentials. Most
recently he defended the literary

Drama
Because of his dramatic contribu-
tions as a member of the EC Play-
house. Tommy Hull was chosen as
the outstanding student in the field
of drama. This year Tommy was
stage manager of "The House of
Connelly" and played in "Teahouse

in other workshops previous to this j
year, and was in the cast of "The !
Moon Is Blue" recently sponsored
by the Delta Sigma Rho fraternity.
Sports
Basketball and track are the order
1 for Jessel Curry, who was the out-
standing sportsman of the year, ac-
cording to the staff. Curry, who was
i a newcomer this year, was selected
1 for the All Conference Basketball
Team; he is also an active member
of the track team.
Best Entertainment
Dave Brubeck and his band were
eonsiii.red by one and all as the out-
standing entertainment of the year.
In an East Carolinian staff round-
up of the top stories of the year, en-
tertainment led the news at ECC
The SGA was in second place in news
coverage.
The following were the top news
stories for this school year:

The Brubeck appearance was spon
sored by the entertainment series
and was quite a success.
Most Outstanding Guest
A Broadway actor who starred in
the playhouse production of "Tea-
house of the August Moon" was in
our estimation the most outstanding
guest on campus this year. Jerry
Rockwell caused quite a bit of excite-
ment among the playhouse members,
as well as the students; and will long
be remembered for his portrayal of

ed the requests and also reported
on the progress of the institution
from 194 when he assumed office,
to the present. He emphasized the
growth in physical facilities, enroll-
ment, and education services.
Since 1947, he reported, perman-
ent improvements appropriations have
totaled $8,174,129 actually appropri-
ated, plus $1,425,000 in government
loans. These amounts have been or
are being used for sixteen completed
construction projects and seven other
building projects now under way and
for the purchase of forty acres of
land
From 1946-47 to the present, he
said, enrollment on the campus for
the regular and the summer sessions
has increased from 1949 to 5944:
number of faculty and staff members
from 80 to' 235; and number of off-
campus students taking extension
courses from nine to 1436.
Prepared to Teach
He stressed the fact that 523 of
the 744 graduates of 1957-58 are pre-
pared to teach and that most of this
years 95 M.A. graduates are also
prepared for public school work.
Radio and TV Active
Dr. Messick reported a great in-
crease in radio and television acti-
vities this year. Accomplishments
include, he said. 1764 taped programs
broadcast over 34 radio stations; 2500
hours of broadcasting over the cam-
pus FM station. 130 TV programs and
130 tele-course programs over com-
mercial stations. Vice President Leo

by Nancy Lilly
Farewell columns are usually, the gooey type which impress
the bourgeois and tickle the funny bone of the intelligent. You
will be spared that type until this .time next year. It must be
said, though, that I have appreciated those of you (both stu-
dents and others that don't bear mentioning) who have ranted
and railed at me on occasion. It shows that there's a little life
in a few of you yet. The only defense with which I would like
to leave you comes in the form of a poem by the ever-present
Mamuel Hoffenstein
"I seldom mean a single thing
I say, or (as the phrase goes) sing;
But if it sounds both bright and true,
I like to think I think I do
On to more important things . . . There is an excellent and
very interesting exhibit in the library which contains much of
the good work done by students in the art department this
year. This is a growing department and one which contains
quite a bit of unexpected talent.
There should always be a farewell word to the Graduating
Seniors. Whether it sounds tao emotional or notwe're going
to miss you and we wish you the best of luck. But let's face
it. it sure will be nice to get out in the world and be treated as
a fairly adult and rational person for a change. Just think of
your undergraduate colleagues when you're doing openly the
things that they are still having to do behind people's backs.
To get right down to it, though, it's understandable why
'They are afraid to grant extra privileges. When students in
senior dorms behave like freshmen, it's enough to make people
wonder. In fact, it's almost an insult to freshmen to classify
them with some juniors and seniors. As long as students
behave like children, they will be treated as such. But of
course, as long as they are treated as children, they will behave
as expected. So it's a vicious circle. But, back to privileges
. girls are wearing Bermudas these days, we had a train trip
to Portsmouth, we can have colored entertainment, many new
faculty members are being added, we're getting new buildings
ami now additions to old buildings . . . we're not too badly off.
01 course, the Bermudas and the colored entertainment still
have strings attached, but what can you get for a nickel these
days anyway? Perhaps next year something will be done
about the informary, the cafeteria, cheating, and many other,
pus problems. Nothing will be done, but we can still hope.
can't we? By the way. the University of Florida just passed a
ruling stating that girls can wear Bermudas to class.
Well, good-bye and good luck. Have a nice summer, and if
you get down Miami way, look me us and we'll have a party!
An Evening Meal
By Bill Boyd
After standing in the line for 15 or 20 minutes and swear-
ing everytime a "good buddy" broke in front of each of them
to grab that spot in line that another "good buddy" had
ed, the group of boys approached the table where the trays,
napkins, silverware, etc are kept. One of them dropped his
fork and picked it up, looking around to see if anyone had
observed the catastrophe, decided they had. and proceeded to
himself another one. One fellow commented in negative
fashion on the dessert saying that it was too small in pro-
portion and hoped it didn't taste as it looked. After this
hypocritical statement, he rambled on about how good the
food is at home compared to some of the food in the cafe-
Ul "You don't have to eat it Joe said the fellow behind
him. "I have to eat something" shot back the first guy,
hoping that this type of reply wouldn't arouse adverse com-
ments on his criticism of the food anymore.
As the group approached the lady at the cash register, the
first fellow's meal was 81c. He turned and said. "Got a penny
To' "No, but movbe George has. George do you have a
penny that Joe can have "Yen, catch he said as he tossed
the coin forward and over the head of Tom. Joe missed it and
finally retrieved it from under a near-by table. By this time
the lady at the cash register was quite impatient as was every-
one in the line behind the group. "Forget the penny son she
called out. but he now had it and she gave him 20c change for
the dollar and penny he handed her. "Grouchy as hell around
here George said the first boy as he walked'off.
As George put his tray down" a cute little thing with blonde
hair wiggled by. and he ended the process of laying his tray
n by sitting it on Joe's mjlk. Of course Joe didn't know
this as he was watching the young co-ed too. "Wow, did you
see the . . . on her George said speaking to no one in particu-
lar. "Get the catsup behind you yelled one of them to Joe.
He left the table, waited for a sweet young thing to finish using
it; hoping she would take a long time, and finally returned to
the table.
"Boy, its just 5:30. and we should be able to check quite a
few before we leave whispered George to the rest. He had
no sooner finished the statement when five girls wandered by
them heading for the food counter. In perfect harmony, four
heads turned to look and slowly followed the quint as they
proceeded by. You could have reached down and swiped their
plates, desserts and all without them knowing it. "Get your
minds where they belong and let's get out of here replied
Tom. "Just because you can't get a date with a girl, you have
to think that none of us should murmured one of his buddies
to Tom. "I don't give a damn about any girl in this coll . .
and the sentence was broken off sharply as Tom's eyes followed
a passing brunette, holding her chin up and her chest high.
Everyone at the table laughed and a few more joined in that
had sat down with the four. "You're no different from anyone
else Tom, and that proved it said Joe. "Aw bull was Tom's
answer.
It was now 3:45 and George moaned, "I wish to hell that Axe
would have them warm this stuff before they serve it "Yen,
joined in another guy, "you sure can't enjov food thats cold, it
just doesn't taste right No one seemed to notice that they
had sat there so long that the ice cream had already half melted
on two of their plates.
Once they were outside they stood around the concrete
steps just enough to make others trying to enter the cafeteria
door have to go around them to do so. "Some poor slob is
getting a ticket over there by the hydrant said Tom. They
all laughed together except George. He suddenly realized
nothing was funny anymore and was on his way to try and talk
Chief Harrell out of the ticket that was quite predominant on
his windshield. "They won't give a guy a break around here
moaned Tom. "George couldn't have been parked there more
than 10 minutes commented another. About this time poor
George came back knowning that he was two dollars in the
hole. "If I have to pay two bucks, I'll just get my moneys
worth and leave it there until I head back for the dorm he
remarked.
"Pasti sure has a nerve, assigning us a test for tomorrow
when 'Raintree County' is on at the snake pit said Joe. All of
them agreed with him that they were being persecuted since
they were all in the same class. "If I go to the movie I won't
even have time to go to the "Y" shop afterwards as I'll have to
go study some spoke up Joe again. "What's the test about?"
inquired George, "I had to go to Belks and get a pair of pants
during today's class period No one answered as no one was
really sure he knew what the lecture had been about. "Sure
has some nerve by assigning us all that material for one night's
study when a good movie is on remarked one of the crowd.
"They just won't give us any decent time to study around
here was Tom's consoling reply to the crowd of boys. "Well,
come on fellows, if we hustle, maybe we can get a good seat
someone yelled, and seven of the intellctual set walked off
towards five-points and "Raintree County
Youthful Impressions
by Marti Martin
With this ring
She walked behind me, as I came towards the dorm from my
last class, a little old lady. "My husband called me today she
was telling the other lady with her, "and you know, he has
the nicest voice on the phone so peaceful She walked
behind me, and this was one of those moments when you didn't
have to see the personto tell that someone was still so verv
much in love, a little old lady.
As you like it. . .
My roommate and I have never had an argument. With the
first whiff of trouble or disagreement we talk the problem over
instead of waiting for the snag V) spread and poison our way
of getting along together. I couldn't have asked for a nicer
roommate, for along with this insight she is also thoughtful
and considerate.
Keys to happiness . . .
These past few weeks a lot of studying has been done and
being caught in the midst of exams presents a rather frighten-
ing picture. Some of the students, however, have caught the
idea to a successful and happy life at college. They take time
out to do something different when the tension is high. Many
go out for a good game of tennis . . . some horseback and bi-
cycle riding. I saw one couple having a picnic out on the steps
of the outdoor theater near Garrett. Then, there are those
who enjoy reading just for the fun of it! Art and music are
excellent forms of relaxation . . . besides furnishing many
hours of pleasure. Perhaps you find your key to happiness as
you walk alone, surrounded by beautiful scenery. When the
opportunity comes, we must grasp it in that moment to savor
its richness, fullness, and the essence of real living.
Down by the riverside . . .
When a day has been particularity trying I often take a walk
down by the river. Those moments mean a lot to me, and I
wont ever forget themfor it was down at the river that
I shut my eyes put my hands on the earth and felt the
dynamic pulse of life. It was bursting with something I could
not name! It were if the mighty force of humanity had come
struggling through from all parts of the earth and it's basic
simple truths lay viberating there on the top soil. My ear
caught the voices of many lands in the first quiet whisper of
the trees and then later the stronger gusts from other lands
burst forth with their passionate beliefs. I smelled the riches
of the earth and came to know kindness, sincerity, sweetness
and humility through the perfume of the wild flowers so care-
lessly planted by nature. And the river roared above it all
with power, determinationfull of the sounds of life and the
lively.
I opened my eyes and the light almost blinded me. Color
burst forth color of sunset. Cool breeze caught at my skirt
carressed by burning cheeks. River laughed warmly with
the tint of dark flame . . And in the middle of this mass of
vibrant color and lifeI found a small tree all by itself
curled, white, paper-thin leaves clinging faithfully among a
forest of dark greenery. It was almost like a small chapel
more beautiful perhaps than that any man has attempted to
construct. I entered the little chapel along the river banks
and kneltwitnessed a delicate holy hush . . . And my
heart beat so loudly in that quiet that it seemed to echo my
secret thought: I will find Thee in timein time "
Faculty Displays Varied Talents
By Derry Walker
One outstanding value of faculty
members at East Carolina College is
often overlooked by the student
body; their acting ability. Since
1933 ECC professors have offered a
variety of entertaining stage produc-
tions, from simple one-act to more
complex three-act plays.
The purpose of faculty drama is
three-fold: it's fun for the partici-
pants, it provides amusement for the
student body and anybody else inter-
ested, and it raises money for a very
worthy cause; the East Carolina Fo-
reign Study Scholarship Fund.
The Greenville Branch of the
American Association of University
Women has worked hand in hand
with the EC. Faculty for many years
and has helped in the way of acquir-
ing costumes, sets, and other equip-
ment necessary for the productions.
The combined forces of these groups
have succeeded in raising consider-
able sums of money for their cause,
but could be even more successful if
more students were aware of their
actions and aims.
Thus far, no Brandos or Bergmans
have arisen from the file of perform-
ers, but according to Mrs. Agnes Bar-
rett, President Messick's secretary,
an abundance of Emmet Kelleys have
apepared in various plays. Mrs. Bar-
rett remarks, "the members have
very idealistic motives each time, but
they generally prove to be a bunch
of hams in love with grease paint and
bright lights Mrs. Barrett's pun
by no means reflects the fun that
E.Cs faculty members have in do-
nating their time and talents for
these productions, and the facetious
remark itself overlooks the fact that
the presentations are often quite ex-
cellent.
JF
Some of the recent faculty produc-
tions include "Harvey "The Curious
Savage and "The Silver Whistle
George E. Perry, who had the lead
role in "The Silver Whistle was
instrumental as the director of the
two others.
This year, the E.C. troupers proved
their merit in one of Agatha Chris-
tfe's whodunits, "The Mouse Trap
which was again sponsored by the
AAUW and directed by Robert For-
ney, of the Greenville Little Theatre.
Much preparation and hard work
accompany the frolic of the college
corps of part-time actors, all result-
ing in entertainment waiting to be
enjoyed by the student body, and
certainly the funds raised for tht
Foreign Study Scholarship Fund are
significant. The whole program rates
a louder applause and wholehearted
support from E.C. students.
Three Faculty Members Use Grants
For Summer Research Work
Three faculty members have re-
ceived grants to be used for study
and research work during the sum-
mer.
Dr. Joseph F. Steelman and Dr.
George Pasti of the social studies de-
partment have been awarded fellow-
ships from the Southern Fellowship
Foundation. Dr. Edgar W. Hirsh-
berg of the English department holds
a grant from the Foundation for Eco-
